Majority-Black Detroit has become the largest city to challenge its figures from the 2020 census following a national head count in which the U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges African Americans were undercounted
Even though the overall U.S. population was missed by a small percentage, 0.24%, during a once-a-decade headcount challenged by the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration, some minority groups were overlooked at greater rates than the previous decade. The Black population was undercounted by 3.3%, those who identified as some other race had a 4.3% undercount, almost 5% of the Hispanic population was missed and more than 5.
In Detroit's case, Duggan said that federal funding for the city tied to the 2010 census in the previous decade exceeded $37 billion. The overwhelming majority of the municipalities challenging their census figures are small towns, with more than half of them coming from the rural South. About half a dozen have said in their challenges that prisons in their communities were overlooked during the count.
Because of the difficulties in counting these residents, the Census Bureau last month created a separate program for challenges of group quarter counts.
