2020 census overcounted people in Puerto Rico, hinting at larger population loss

The population of Puerto Rico was overcounted by 5.7%, or 174,000 people, when the Census Bureau conducted its 2020 count.

The overcount came to light Tuesday after the bureau announced it concluded a post-enumeration survey used to measure the accuracy of the census by independently surveying a sample of the population on the island. The effort is being used to inform improvements on the 2030 census.

On April 2021, the Census Bureau announced Puerto Rico’s population fell 11.8% to nearly 3.3 million over the past decade. But the latest post-enumeration survey suggests that Puerto Rico’s total population may be closer to 3.1 million.

Issues with duplicate records seem to have contributed to the overcount, according to the bureau.

The estimated rate of erroneous enumerations in the 2020 census was 9. 8% or 319,000. Almost all of them, about 9.1% or 294,000, could be attributed to duplicate records. In contrast, the estimated rate of erroneous enumerations due to duplication in the U.S. mainland is 1.6%.

“So you could have people counted at multiple places, and we were not able to detect that they were duplicated,” Timothy Kennel, an assistant division chief for statistical methods at the Census Bureau, told NBC News.

Kennel said a “classic example” of duplication could be a college student living at a dorm who filled the census form at the university but their parents might have also put them down as part of their household in the form.

But in Puerto Rico, almost 10% of the population were counted twice, Mario Marazzi, the former executive director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics and a member of the Census Scientific Advisory Committee, said in an interview with NBC News, speaking from Puerto Rico.

In a predominantly Spanish-speaking jurisdiction, people often have two last names but “may not be reporting their names consistently in every form,” since there’s not always space for it, Marazzi said. Also, date of birth numbers are written differently — in Spanish, date of birth digits start with the day, not the month — and unduplication efforts don’t always account for these inconsistencies, which may result in future overcounts.

Puerto Rico population overcounts were most prevalent among women age 50 and over (11%) and men age 50 and over (8.3%), followed by women ages 30 to 49 (4.9%).

Overall, “adult males (5.7%) and females (7.3%) were statistically significantly overcounted in the 2020 Census,” according to the bureau.

Unduplication efforts in the 50 states and Washington, D.C. often use administrative records from the IRS, Social Security Administration, the U.S. Postal Service and the Medicare enrollment database to “match people in different households,” Kennel said. “That effort ended up removing some duplicates” on the U.S. mainland.

“We didn’t have the same quality of administrative records in Puerto Rico to conduct that unduplication effort,” Kennel added.

The 2010 census also overcounted Puerto Rico’s population by 4.5%, or 160,000 people. At that time, the Puerto Rican population was about 3.7 million. On that census, the bureau also reported a high rate of erroneous enumerations.

The estimated rate of erroneous enumerations in the 2010 census was 7.9% or 290,000. Almost all of them, about 7.2% or 264,000, could also be attributed to duplicate records.

“We want to partner with stakeholders to think about how can we improve the census in Puerto Rico, so we do not have an overcount, nor an undercount,” Kennel said. “Maybe if we had better administrative records in Puerto Rico, we could do a better job of removing some of those duplicates, detecting them and making sure we are trying to lower duplication.”

Kennel also said there may be space for additional “creative ideas” that could be researched over the next decade ahead of the 2030 census.

“The post-enumeration survey seems to suggest that there will be room for improvement in Puerto Rico, especially with trying to figure out ways to reduce the overcount,” he added.

Best Country: Population of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is sometimes said to have a European (Spanish) majority, a nearly extinct American Indian population, a mixed race population, Africans, and a small Asian minority. Analysis of blood and proteins showed that the population of Puerto Rico is 45% European, 37% African and 18% Indian.

A later analysis of mitochondrial DNA from 800 individuals found Amerindian mtDNA in 61.1% of residents, African mtDNA in 26.4% of residents, and White mtDNA in 12. 5% of Puerto Ricans.

In the 1800s, hundreds of Corsicans, French, Lebanese, Chinese and Portuguese, along with large numbers of immigrants from Spain, the Canary Islands and other Spanish colonies in South America, moved to Puerto Rico .

After the Decree of 1815, which allowed foreigners to settle in Puerto Rico, thousands of immigrants from all over Europe arrived in the country. Massive immigration in the 19th century saw the island’s population rise from 155,000 in 1800 to almost a million at the end of the century.

The census, , conducted in accordance with royal decree on September 30, 1858, gives the following picture of the population of that time: white population – 300,430 people, free people of color – 341,015, slaves – 41,736, undetermined – 127 people. Later, Puerto Rico became a permanent home for more than 100,000 immigrants who came not only from Spain, but also from Latin American countries. People from Argentina, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Venezuela entered the country. The wide variety of surnames also gives an idea of the different origins.

Emigration from country has also become an integral part of Puerto Rico’s recent history. After the end of World War II, due to poverty, cheap airfare and support from the island government, waves of emigration moved to the United States, especially to New York, Chicago, Boston, Orlando, Tampa and Hartford.

Emigration continued even after the economy improved and the birth rate fell. It continues at the present time, and in combination with a drop in the birth rate, in the next 20 years it can lead to a rapid aging of the population and its decrease.

In 2000, the Census took place, in which Puerto Ricans were asked what race they identified themselves as. 95.8% named only one race: 80.5% identified themselves as white, 8% as black, and 0.4% described themselves as representatives of the Indian race.

Languages 

The official languages in Puerto Rico are Spanish and English. Spanish is the main language in public institutions, although English is a compulsory subject from elementary school to the second year of college. According to 2006 data, approximately 3,860,120 people use Spanish as their main language and 82,000 use English.

Although a relatively small proportion of the islanders consider English their primary language, the majority of the population in the larger cities speaks both languages, or at least understands English and uses it in certain situations.

In 1991, the governor of the island , Rafael Hernandez Colón , signed a law making Spanish the sole official language of public institutions in Puerto Rico. Although many politicians supported this decision, supporters of joining the US as a state saw it as a threat to their aspirations.

The law was also welcomed by the population of Puerto Rico as a result of the 1991 award of the prestigious Prince of Asturias Prize (Spanish: Premio Principe de Asturias) for Literature, given annually for contributions to literature in Spanish. In 1993, the new governor, Pedro Rossell (Spanish: Pedro Rosselló), signed another law, returning the status of the state to English. This was seen by many as a step towards rapprochement with the US.

Good attitude towards enumerators

Good attitude towards census takers

For whom, but for statisticians and their special freelance assistants, October will definitely become hot. Yes, and half of November!

The census is on the doorstep! 12th All-Russian population census, the first digital – from on October 15 to November 14 (from October 15 to November 8 – on the State Services website, from on October 18, census takers will start working) .

Today is October 7th. And the calendars, as if by order, remind us of the census with their holidays. Good Attitude Day is celebrated in US dependent Puerto Rico. A playful day, and Puerto Ricans say: it is important for society, so that more successful people are more attentive to those who suffer. Under the slogan “Everyone is important to Russia” , we had a 2010 population census. Ideas resonate. Everyone needs a good attitude. And census takers in 2021 too. It is more difficult for them than for their predecessors in 2010 – the trust of the population was undermined by the economic crisis, virus threats, and scammers. Nevertheless, census takers count on a kind attitude and understanding of the population.

And the American Jude, who suddenly lost loved ones, initiated another day on October 7 called “You are important to me” . She believes that these words should be said because they have a strong impact. And again, remember … the upcoming census. Its main focus is the census on the Internet, as evidenced by the slogan “Creating the Future”: the goal ahead is digitalization. And yet, without communication and kind words, people will not succeed in any way.

The head of Rosstat, Pavel Malkov, spoke about the same thing: yes, it is not necessary to invite a census taker with a tablet to your house, he can ask questions before entering your home, especially since this is not for long. But I would like to count on a respectful attitude towards employees who perform serious work.

Many questions are being asked about the upcoming census. Here are some of them.

– Can a person skip a question on the census form on the Gosuslug website if he does not know the answer to it ?

Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation Oleg Kachanov:

– Can be skipped, although hints help to fill in all the fields. For example, not everyone knows what building materials the building in which they live is built. To make things easier, we use Rosreestr’s building data and offer answers based on the address the user has entered.

– How long does it take to register on “Gosuslug”?

– Average 23 minutes. During the 2018 Pilot Census, the questionnaire took 40 minutes to complete.

– Is a population census carried out at workplaces?

Deputy Head of Rosstat Pavel Smelov:

– It all depends on the employer. The head of the organization can apply to the territorial body of Rosstat and ask to send enumerators to the enterprise.

And now some numbers to help you understand the amount of work ahead. Summing up the results of the population census in the Ivanovo region in 2010, Ivanovostat prepared in subsequent years 10 volumes with various data on the population, two of them contained 2 books each.

Results of several population censuses. In 1979, there were 1.30 million people in the Ivanovo region, in 1989 – 1.29 million ., in 2002 – 1.15 million ., in 2010 – 1.06 million . residents.

Estimated data are data in the intercensal period. For example, as of January 1, 2021, there were 987032 people in the region.

There is an important indicator in demographic statistics. It shows how “adult” the population of a country, region, district, city is. This is median age – age (number of years), which divides the population of a territorial unit into two equal halves: one is younger, the other is older than this value. This indicator can only be accurately calculated from population censuses.

In the “oldest” Japan, the median age today is 48.4 years, and in the “youngest” country Niger – 15 years . Demographers notice that the world is rapidly aging.

And this is the population census data in the Ivanovo region: the median age of the inhabitants of the region was: in 1979 – 36.6 years , in 1989 – 36.1 years , in 2002 – 40.2 years tons , in 2010 – 40.8 L etc. The average for Russia in 2010 is 90,007 38.0 90,008 years.

At the beginning of 2021 in the Ivanovo region, the median age obtained by calculation is 42.6 years , in the Russian Federation – 40.0 years.

Only the upcoming population census as a continuous statistical study will provide accurate data about what we are – the inhabitants of Ivan-krai.
