Clustering of Young Children in �Problematic� Census Tracts

Clustering of Young Children in �Problematic� Census Tracts

A new report from Count All Kids looks at �the distribution of young children living in two kinds of census tracts which are likely to be problematic� in the 2020 Census results:

1. �young children living in low self-response census tracts�; and
2. �young children living in  tracts where the self-response rate decreased by 10 percentage points or more between 2010 and 2020.�

The report claims that this data offers �empirical evidence about what to expect when the data on young children are released for the 2020 Census.�
