MARCH 9, 2022 — The Census Bureau will host a virtual news conference and technical presentation on the first set of results from the 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) along with additional results from the 2020 Demographic Analysis (DA) estimates tomorrow, Thursday, March 10.  

The first release of PES results will provide national estimates of population coverage overall and by demographic groups, such as race and Hispanic origin, as well as age groups and sex. Results from the DA estimates will include net coverage error estimates by single year of age and sex at the national level. Together, these results help evaluate the quality of the 2020 Census.   

Estimates from the PES of population and housing unit coverage by state and by several census operations are scheduled for release in the summer.
