2010 Census: Population Measures Are Important for Federal Funding Allocations
The decennial census is a constitutionally-mandated activity that
produces critical data used to apportion congressional seats,
redraw congressional districts, and allocate billions of dollars
in federal assistance. This testimony discusses (1) the various
measures of population used to allocate federal grant funds (2)
how the accuracy of the population count and measurement of
accuracy have evolved and the U.S. Census Bureau's (Bureau) plan
for coverage measurement in 2010; and (3) the potential impact
that differences in population estimates can have on the
allocation of grant funds. This testimony is based primarily on
GAO's issued work in which it evaluated the sensitivity of grant
formulas to population estimates.
