2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) Press Kit

The 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) provides a mechanism for governmental units in the United States and Puerto Rico to submit information to request that the U.S. Census Bureau review the population counts of group quarters they believe were not correctly counted as of April 1, 2020.

The PCGQR program can inform and improve the statistics produced for communities throughout the decade.

However, the program does not change 2020 Census counts or data products, such as apportionment and redistricting.
