2020 Census Block Demographics for the SACOG Region.

Decennial Census 2020 includes tabulations of housing units, total population and adult population by race and by Hispanic or Latino origin, and total group quarters population. Data are summary statistics for population and housing from a "100% count." The Census Bureau attempts to survey or interview all known addresses. Geographies nationwide can be obtained from Census, with disaggregate geographic detail down to Block-level. Metropolitan Council is publishing files for 2020 Blocks, Block Groups, Tracts, Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs), and school districts.

The Decennial Census PL94-171 reports summary statistics on population and housing for use in redistricting. The Census Bureau attempts to survey or interview all known addresses. Still, the data are subject to error. The errors derive from survey data collection (response errors, field follow-up for missing cases) and processing by the Census Bureau (geolocation of population and housing, data coding, compilation processes, and imputation of missing cases).
