Significant changes at the Census Bureau including new privacy measures have the potential to make local data less accurate. These changes can be hard to parse for those not closely following Census Bureau activities.
APDU is holding this series of town hall events and trainings to educate state and local government data users about what these changes mean for the quality of the data that state and local governments rely on, and how to validate whether the data you’re getting from the decennial census is fit for use.
