Biden To Make Historic Census Director Pick With Latino Statistician Rob Santos
Quote
In a historic move, President Biden is naming Robert Santos, one of the country's leading statisticians and the American Statistical Association's president, as his intended nominee to head the U.S. Census Bureau.
If confirmed by the Senate, Santos, who is Latino, would be the first permanent director of color for the federal government's largest statistical agency, which is in charge of major surveys and the once-a-decade head count used for distributing political representation and funding around the United States.
The White House announced Santos as Biden's intended nominee in a statement released on Tuesday. Depending on the timing of a confirmation, Santos could finish the term left open by former Director Steven Dillingham that is ending this year. Dillingham was the Trump-appointed director who quit in January after whistleblowers filed complaints about Dillingham's role in trying to rush out an incomplete data report on noncitizens. Santos could be reappointed after the end of a first term, according to federal law.

So tedious that they always make it about race. More relevant is that he's bound to be better than any Trump appointee.

Count imputation rates (= guesstimates of people not counted) will be similar to previous Censuses (ca. 0.5%):
Which means about 1.7 million people were not counted properly either by self-response, by a census taker (which includes info received from a landlord or neighbour), or by using administrative records.

The error due to count imputation will be much smaller. The Census Bureau assigns the count from a nearby housing unit . So some units with an actual count of two might be assigned a count of one, and some with an actual count of one might be assigned a count of three.
They may be able to compensate for systematic bias. That is, there may be demographic characteristics that are associated with housing units that had to be imputed.
Why did no one self-respond, why was no one able to be located during NRFU, why was no proxy identified, why were there no administrative records?
In the case of duplicate responses, the cause may be that no one assigned the housing unit to NRFU because they believed that they had a self-response. Perhaps someone responded in April in one location, and in July in another, and so it is unknown who lived at the second address in April.

The CB already anticipated much higher unduplication than in 2010 before the 2020 census, because the Internet response was used for the first time.
People responded by Internet (maybe a lot of college students, using their university address), while their parents filled it out for them using their parents address.
Other cases include people who responded by Internet, then received a paper questionnaire and sent this back as well ...
