City Files Federal Lawsuit Challenging US Census Count

Multiple data sources show Census Bureau missed more than 20,000 residents in 2021 estimate, on top of those missed during 2020 Census

On September 20, 2022, the City of Detroit filed a lawsuit in US District Court claiming the US Census Bureau’s 2021 population estimate continues to short Detroit’s population by tens of thousands of residents and register population losses, despite numerous data sources that show the city’s population is growing. The suit also demonstrates the Bureau violated its own policies by unilaterally canceling its challenge program, leaving the city no available remedy outside the courts. Additionally, the complaint says the Bureau also refused to review any evidence of an undercount provided by the city or to share how it reached its estimate – decisions that will cost the City millions of dollars in federal funds.

The City’s complaint focuses specifically on the Census Bureau’s 2021 estimate, which is based upon the 2020 decennial census that the City also has been challenging. The newer 2021 estimate, released in May of this year, showed an additional loss of more than 7,000 more residents, despite a growing housing crunch in the city.

“The Census Bureau used a formula to estimate Detroit’s population that showed the city losing more than 7,000 residents from just one year prior,” said Mayor Duggan. “Any formula claiming the city is still losing population defies facts and common sense, given the thousands of newly constructed and renovated housing units in the city, as well as increases in residential utility connections. Activity like this does not happen when more people are leaving the city than moving in.”

To be able to fully and effectively understand how the Census Bureau determined its population estimate, the City is asking the court to compel the Bureau to share its formula, which the Mayor says will reveal its failings.

Utility records show population increase

Contrary to the Census Bureau’s estimate, evidence compiled by the City—including U.S. Postal Service delivery records, DTE Energy residential account data, Detroit Water and Sewerage Department records, and Detroit Land Bank Authority occupancy data—conservatively shows that Detroit gained tens of thousands of residents between the 2020 Census and the 2021 estimate. So, while one federal agency claims that Detroit lost population, another is delivering mail to more addresses, DTE is providing power to more Detroiters, and DWSD is servicing more accounts. The Bureau refuses to consider this evidence.

Census Bureau violating its own rules

The Census Bureau has an administrative procedure to allow cities to challenge errors in the annual population estimates. But without notice, the Bureau simply announced on its website that the challenge program is cancelled for 2022 and would not resume until 2023. When the City requested the calculations underlying the 2021 estimate (step one in the challenge process), it was denied within hours, leaving Detroit unable to administratively fix the 2021 undercount.

In its lawsuit, the City explains that the Census Bureau violated federal administrative law by failing to comply with its own official rule that allows challenges to annual estimates and effectively adopting an “unofficial” rule without public input suspending the challenge program until 2023.

“The Census Bureau’s failure to follow its own program rules, and the conclusive evidence that Detroit’s population rose from 2020 and 2021, provide clear justification for a court to order the Bureau to fix the 2021 undercount so Detroiters can get their fair share of federal funds,” said Detroit’s Corporation Counsel, Conrad Mallett.

Bureau has acknowledged undercount of Blacks & Hispanics nationally

The US Census Bureau has publicly acknowledged that the 2020 Census undercounted the nation’s Black population by 3.30% and the Hispanic population by 4.99%. In Detroit, with a combined Black and Hispanic population of over 84%, that amounts to an undercount of over 20,000 Detroiters. Yet in its 2021 estimate of the City’s population released in May 2022, rather than fix this admitted error, the Bureau reduced the population by an additional 7,150 people.

“Census undercounts have alarming real world consequences that deprive cities like Detroit of their fair and intended share of critical funding for schools, hospitals, affordable housing, and more,” said U.S. Rep. Brenda L. Lawrence (MI-14). “If the census is not accurate, then the annual population numbers that guide hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid to communities and families are not accurate either,” Rep. Lawrence added. “Cities must have a meaningful way to challenge their annual estimates. That is why as Vice-Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, I successfully advanced language related to the Census Bureau’s funding bill for the upcoming fiscal year that directs the bureau to expand the scope of the Population Estimates Challenge Program so that cities across the country have a real chance to improve the accuracy of their annual numbers. I thank Mayor Duggan for his leadership and efforts to find a remedy to the undercount. We are Detroit and we do not sit on the sidelines. We will stand up and fight.”


La ciudad de Detroit presenta una demanda federal que cuestiona el censo de EE. UU.

Múltiples fuentes muestran que la Oficina del Censo pasó por alto a más de 20,000 residentes en la estimación del 2021, además de los que no fueron contabilizados durante el Censo de 2020.

El 20 de septiembre de 2022, la ciudad de Detroit presentó una demanda en el Tribunal de Distrito de los EE. UU. alegando que la estimación de la población de la Oficina del Censo de los EE. UU. para 2021 continúa reduciendo a la población de Detroit en decenas de miles de residentes y registrando pérdidas poblacionales, a pesar de numerosas fuentes de datos que muestran el crecimiento de la población de la ciudad.

La demanda también demuestra que la Oficina violó sus propias políticas al cancelar unilateralmente su programa de impugnación, dejando a la ciudad sin ningún recurso disponible fuera de los tribunales. Además, la demanda expone que la Oficina también se negó a revisar la evidencia sobre un recuento insuficiente, proporcionada por la ciudad o compartir los métodos utilizados para llegar a su estimación; decisiones que le costarán a la Ciudad de Detroit millones de dólares en fondos federales.

La especialista en las asociaciones de la Oficina del Censo, Jane C García quien se encuentra ahora jubilada, apoya la acción legal que está tomando la ciudad. “Como hispanos, siempre nos dejan afuera”, dijo. “Necesitamos asegurarnos de que las crecientes cifras, sean contadas completamente y que recibamos una representación justa en todos los niveles del gobierno; aquí en Detroit y en todo el país”.

La queja de la Ciudad se enfoca específicamente en la estimación del año 2021 de la Oficina del Censo, que está basada en el censo decenal del 2020 que la Ciudad también ha cuestionado.

La estimación más reciente para 2021, publicada en mayo de este año, mostró una pérdida adicional de más de 7,000 residentes, a pesar de una creciente escasez de viviendas en la ciudad.

“La Oficina del Censo usó una fórmula para hacer la estimación de la población de Detroit, que mostró que la ciudad ha perdido a más de 7,000 personas desde hace un año”, dijo el alcalde Duggan. “Cualquier fórmula que afirme que la ciudad está perdiendo población, desafía los hechos y el sentido común, dadas las miles de viviendas recién construidas y renovadas de la ciudad, así como los aumentos en las conexiones residenciales de servicios públicos. Una actividad inmobiliaria como esta no sucede cuando hay más personas dejando la ciudad, que las que llegan a vivir en ella”.

Para poder comprender de manera completa y efectiva cómo la Oficina del Censo determinó la estimación de la población, la Ciudad le pide a la corte que obligue a la Oficina a compartir su fórmula, que según el alcalde revelará sus fallas. Los registros de servicios públicos muestran un aumento de la población.  

Contrariamente a la estimación de la Oficina del Censo, la evidencia recopilada por la Ciudad, incluidos los registros de entrega del Servicio Postal de EE. UU., los datos de las cuentas residenciales de DTE Energy, los registros del Departamento de Agua y Alcantarillado de Detroit y los datos de ocupación de la Autoridad del Banco de Tierras de Detroit, muestran de manera conservadora que Detroit ganó decenas de miles de residentes entre el censo de 2020 y la estimación de 2021. Entonces, mientras una agencia federal afirma que Detroit perdió población, otra está entregando correo a más direcciones, DTE está brindando energía a más habitantes de Detroit y DWSD está atendiendo a más cuentas, pero la Oficina del Censo se niega a considerar esta evidencia.

La Oficina del Censo está violando sus propias reglas.

La Oficina del Censo tiene un procedimiento administrativo para permitir que las ciudades cuestionen los errores en las estimaciones anuales de la población. Pero sin previo aviso, la Oficina simplemente anunció en su sitio web que el programa de impugnación se canceló para el 2022 y no se reanudaría hasta el 2023. Cuando la Ciudad solicitó los cálculos subyacentes a la estimación del 2021 (primer paso en el proceso de impugnación), se denegó en cuestión de horas, dejando a Detroit incapaz de arreglar administrativamente el conteo insuficiente del 2021.

En su demanda, la Ciudad explica que la Oficina del Censo violó la ley administrativa federal al no cumplir con su propia regla oficial que permite hacer objeciones en las estimaciones anuales y adoptar efectivamente una regla “no oficial” sin aporte público que suspende el programa de impugnación hasta el 2023.

“El hecho de que la Oficina del Censo no siguió las reglas de su propio programa y la evidencia concluyente de que la población de Detroit aumentó entre 2020 y 2021 proporciona una justificación clara para que un tribunal ordene a la Oficina, que corrija el conteo insuficiente de 2021 para que los habitantes de Detroit puedan obtener una parte justa de los fondos federales”, dijo el abogado corporativo de Detroit, Conrad Mallett.

La Oficina del Censo ha reconocido un conteo insuficiente de afroamericanos e hispanos a nivel nacional.

La Oficina del Censo de EE. UU. reconoció públicamente que el censo de 2020 subestimó la población negra del país en un 3,30 % y la población hispana en un 4,99 %. En Detroit, con una población negra e hispana combinada de más del 84%, eso equivale a un conteo insuficiente de más de 20,000 habitantes. A pesar de eso, en la estimación de la ciudad del 2021 publicada en mayo de 2022, en lugar de corregir este error admitido, la Oficina redujo la población en 7,150 personas adicionales.

“Los recuentos insuficientes del censo tienen consecuencias alarmantes en el mundo real, que privan a ciudades como Detroit de la parte justa de fondos críticos para escuelas, hospitales, viviendas asequibles y más”, dijo la representante estadounidense Brenda L. Lawrence (MI-14). “Si el censo no es preciso, entonces las cifras de la población anual, que se transforman en cientos de miles de millones de dólares en ayuda federal a las comunidades y las familias, tampoco lo son”, agregó la representante Lawrence. “Las ciudades deben tener una forma válida de cuestionar las estimaciones anuales”.

“Es por eso que, como vicepresidente del Comité de Asignaciones de la Cámara, avancé con éxito en el escrito relacionado con el proyecto de ley de financiación de la Oficina del Censo para el próximo año fiscal, que ordena a la oficina a ampliar el alcance del Programa de Desafío de Estimaciones de Población, para que las ciudades de todo el país tengan una oportunidad real de mejorar la precisión de los números anuales. Agradezco al alcalde Duggan por su liderazgo y esfuerzos por encontrar una solución al conteo insuficiente. Somos Detroit y no nos vamos a quedar al margen. Nos pondremos de pie y lucharemos”.
