more than 100 submissions in total for its two challenge programs from cities, towns and villages of all sizes across the U.S.

The Census Bureau, however, added only a single housing unit, and provided little information on its methodology, officials in Texas' capital said. “It’s no surprise that many of these special populations were miscounted due to the untimely and completely unanticipated emergence of a global pandemic that just happened to perfectly coincide with the 2020 count,” said Susan Strate, senior program manager at the UMass Donahue Institute, which assisted Boston in its challenge.Michigan's largest city by 8% of its occupied homes, overlooking tens of thousands of residents.

The Census Bureau actually subtracted a housing unit and three residents, a result Memphis is disputing. The other challenge deals with misapplied geographic boundaries impacting more than 5,100 people, and is still pending.
