Detroit sued the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022, over population estimates from last year that show the city lost an additional 7,100 residents, opening another front against the agency in a battle over how its people have been counted in the past two years. – Detroit sued the U.S.
The Census Bureau’s refusal this year to consider evidence that the 2021 population estimates were wrong perpetuates racial inequality and threatens the city’s reputation, Detroit said in its lawsuit. Undercounts from the census and population estimates could cost Detroit tens of millions of dollars in federal funding over the next decade. Over the past decade or so, the city has received around $3.5 billion in annual federal funding tied to census figures.
The U.S. Postal Service also has said it is delivering mail to 4,475 more residences in the city, according to Duggan.
