Failing to achieve an accurate count in the 2020 census likely means the state will lose...
Texas’ failure to invest in a robust count effort for the census cost the state a congressional seat and billions in federal dollars.Demographers and pundits have speculated about the accuracy of Texas’ population in the 2020 census — whether there was an undercount.
It is estimated the Texas population was undercounted by 1.92 percent in the 2020 census, meaning almost 548,000 Texans were missed, a number a little larger than the population of the city of Tucson, Ariz. More people were missed in Texas than in any other state. Almost 1 in every 50 Texans was missed in the 2020 Census. Why?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom devoted more than $187 million to a “Be Counted California” campaign, designed to make sure all California residents were counted in the 2020 census. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who leads a state with a population of just more than 5 million people, smaller than the population of the metropolitan area of Houston, devoted several million dollars to an “Alabama Counts, 2020 Census” campaign.
With just a month from the close of the census, when an estimate of the state’s enumeration looked dismal, Abbott made an 11½-hour effort to promote a better census count, chipping in $15 million in CARES Act funds. Abbott contributed 8 cents in funding for every $1 California spent to get a complete count of his state’s population. Abbott got what he sowed.
