Good
afternoon
welcome
to
this
live
broadcast
of
our
virtual
meeting.
This
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
The
city
is
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
B
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
My
name
is
barry
clegg
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
redistricting
group
note
that,
since
this
meeting
is
a
study
session
and
not
a
formal
meeting
and
no
votes
will
be
taken,
we
are
not
taking
roll
call
this
evening,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
have
dr
susan
brower
with
us
this
evening,
who
is
the
minnesota
state
demographer
and
she
has
graciously
agreed
to
join
us
to
give
us
a
short
presentation
on
minnesota
demographic
and
census
overview
for
minneapolis,
2020
redistricting.
C
C
All
right,
you
should
be
able
to
see
what
I
see
now,
which
is
my
my
title
slide,
and
I
cannot
see
you
so
if
you
have
a
question
for
me
as
I'm
going,
I'm
happy
to
to
take
them
as
I
go,
but
I
also
have
time
at
the
end,
but
you
will
have
to
get
my
attention
by
chiming
in
since
I
can't
see
you
at
this
point,
but
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
what
we've
learned
so
far
from
the
2020
census.
C
So
what
we
learned
earlier
this
spring
is
that
minnesota's
population
is
5.7
million,
just
over
5.7
million,
that
the
state
grew
by
7.6
percent
over
the
last
decade,
which
is
really
pretty
good
for
a
midwestern
state.
If
you
look
out
to
the
east
of
us
on
this
map,
you
can
see
that
there
are
many
other
states
that
have
lighter
colored
greens.
There
wisconsin,
for
example,
which
is
comparable
in
size
to
minnesota,
grew
by
about
half
as
much
as
we
did.
C
Michigan
grew
by
just
two
percent.
The
larger
state
illinois
actually
lost
population,
so
in
general,
when
you
think
of
our
kind
of
neighborhood
of
the
us
minnesota
did
really
pretty
well
for
for
where
it
is
with
respect
to
comparable
states.
C
Now,
if
you
look,
for
example,
to
our
west,
just
a
little
bit
still
in
the
midwest,
you
see
that
north
dakota
grew
by
more
than
15
percent
south
dakota,
almost
nine
percent.
Those
states
had
very
strong
economies
as
well,
and
they
have
very
small
population
sizes.
So
it's
much
easier
to
get
to
those
percentages.
C
North
dakota,
just
by
way
of
comparison,
is
about
the
size
of
minneapolis
and
st
paul
put
together,
so
their
15
percent
is
nowhere
near
where
minnesota
grew
with
respect
to
the
number
of
people
added
which
for
minnesota
was
about
400
thousand
other
states
out
to
the
the
west,
with
the
very
darkest
greens
and
the
south
grew
much
more
rapidly,
but
we
were
able
to
hang
on
to
our
eight
congressional
districts,
u.s
congress
congressional
districts
by
just
26
people
counted.
C
So
I
know
the
efforts
in
minneapolis
to
get
out
the
count
were
very
strong
this
time
around
and
we'll
look
at
response
rates
there
in
a
moment.
But
if,
if
any
of
you-
and
I
know
some
of
you
on
this
call-
did
have
a
part
to
play
in
the
outreach
efforts
around
the
2020
census,
you
can
absolutely
claim
responsibility
claim
credit
for
holding
on
to
all
of
minnesota's
eight
congressional
districts
such
a
small
margin.
C
There
are
our
402
569
additional
minnesotans
that
we
added
over
the
last
decade
and
the
white
non-hispanic
population
began
to
decline
in
the
state
overall
and
many
communities
across
the
state.
We
saw
the
same
pattern
with
declining
white
non-hispanic
population
and
continued
growth
of
bypoc
black
indigenous
people
of
color
groups,
and
that's
true
for
minnesota
overall
for
many
communities.
C
When
I
talk
about
this,
people's
minds
typically
go
to
migration
who's
moving
here,
who's
moving
away.
This
is
really
mostly
driven
by
the
people
who
are
already
living
here
and
who's
having
babies
and
who
is
in
the
high
mortality
age
groups.
It
really
is
just
the
result
of
minnesotans
who
are
already
living
here,
going
about
their
daily
lives
and
having
families
and
getting
up
in
their
ages
into
those
older
years,
and
so,
when
you
see
these
numbers,
it's
really
kind
of
just
natural
life
progression.
C
That
is
propelling
diversity
forward,
because
we
have
much
more
racial
and
ethnic
diversity
in
the
younger
age
groups,
and
so
those
groups
tend
to
diversify
our
population
as
as
we
move
forward
and
and
that
white
non-hispanic
population
is
declining.
Regardless
of
what
happens
with
migration,
we
learned
that
most
of
the
growth
in
the
state
of
minnesota
was
concentrated
in
the
seven
county
twin
cities,
metropolitan
area
on
this
graph,
the
orange
or
in
this
map.
The
orange
colors.
C
The
counties
on
the
on
that
are
represented
in
orange
are
those
that
lost
population
in
percentage
terms
over
the
last
decade.
So
you
can
see
across
the
western
edge
of
the
state,
the
northern
edge
and
part
of
the
southern
edge
that
many
of
those
orange
counties
lost
population.
They
tend
to
be
more
rural
in
many
areas
of
the
state
that
contain
metropolitan
areas,
but
especially
the
twin
cities.
C
Metro
gained
population,
which
you
see
in
the
in
the
blue,
color
represented
by
this
map,
the
rochester
metro,
the
moorhead
metro
kind
of
shows
up
in
darker
in
darker
blue
here.
C
But
again,
it's
really
the
twin
cities,
metropolitan
area
that
led
the
growth,
and
we
can
see
that
represented
here
when
we
look
at
which
counties
grew
the
most,
with
hennepin
having
the
largest
bubble
and
adding
129
000
residents
of
those
402
000
people
that
I
talked
about
earlier
so
fully
78
of
the
state's
growth
was
concentrated
in
the
twin
cities.
Metro,
it
really
picked
up
this
decade.
It's
it's
been
going
strong
for
many
decades,
metro
growth,
but
especially
this
decade
we
saw
that
uptick
in
growth
in
our
metropolitan
areas
and
especially
the
twin
cities.
C
So
turning
to
what
happened
in
minneapolis,
I
first
before
I
get
to
the
numbers,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
minneapolis
residents
response
to
the
census,
and
I
mentioned
that
there
was
a
really
wonderful
group
of
people,
a
large
group
of
people,
a
diverse
group
of
people
who
worked
on
making
sure
that
people
understood
how
it
is
to
how
important
it
is
to
fill
out
the
census
and
why
it's
important
to
do
so.
And
so
there
was
really
a
lot
of
energy
around
that.
C
There
really
was
a
lot
of
organizing
that
happened
and
we
actually
increased
our
response
rate
not
only
in
minnesota
but
also
in
minneapolis
in
all
of
the
areas
that
I'm
showing
you
here,
the
self-response
rate
actually
increased
at
a
time
when
we
would
have
expected
it
to
have
declined
so
between
2010
and
2020.
C
We
saw
we've
seen
declines
in
the
response
in
all
kinds
of
surveys
across
the
land,
and
so
we
would
have
expected
the
survey.
The
big
survey,
the
census
to
have
had
a
lower
response
rate
as
well.
That
actually
didn't
happen.
You
can
see
that
74
of
minneapolis
residents
responded
to
the
census
on
their
own
without
additional
follow-up
from
a
census
taker,
so
that
doesn't
mean
that
74
of
the
households
were
counted
in
minneapolis.
That
just
means
that
74
of
people
did
it
on
their
own.
C
Without
a
visit
from
a
census
taker,
the
additional
percentage
was
counted
either
by
administrative
records
or
by
a
follow-up
visit
from
a
census
taker.
C
There
are
still
questions
about
a
quality
that
are
outstanding,
that
we
don't
have
information
on.
Quite
yet,
and
I
I
will
speak
to
that
a
little
bit,
some
of
where
my
concerns
are
in
the
overall
quality
of
the
count.
C
But
what
I
want
to
tell
you
generally
is
that
when
you
have
a
high
response
rate
to
the
census,
as
we
did
in
minnesota
as
we
did
in
minneapolis
it,
it
bodes
well
for
the
quality
of
the
count,
because
when
people
are
answering
themselves,
they
are
answering
much
more
thoroughly
and
appropriately
than
say,
a
proxy
responded.
C
When
the
census
taker
goes
out
to
a
household
and
can't
reach
the
person
who
lives
in
the
household,
they
sometimes
will
go
to
a
neighbor,
a
mail
carrier,
someone
else
that
may
know
something
about
that
household
and
collect
that
information
from
them,
and
that
information
tends
not
to
be
as
accurate,
so
to
have
a
a
higher
response
rate
to
the
census.
A
self-response
rate,
that's
higher,
really
does
do
wonders
for
for
the
quality
of
the
count.
Overall,
you
can
see
for
most
of
minnesota
or
I'm
sorry
for
most
of
minneapolis.
C
We
see
kind
of
a
darker
edge
around
kind
of
the
whole
area
of
minneapolis,
and
it's
more
toward
the
center
of
the
city,
where
we
have
slightly
lower
response
rates,
self-response
rates
but
still
high,
and
it's
this
area,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can
see
my
cursor
but
the
kind
of
yellow,
colored
area
that
there's
a
considerably
lower
self-response,
and
that
is
near
the
east
bank
of
the
university
of
minnesota.
That's
one
of
the
areas
that
I
still
have
outstanding
concerns
of
just
how
well
did
we
count
our
college
students.
C
This
graph
is
still
showing
us
not
number
of
people
which
we
will
get
to.
I
promise,
but
it's
showing
us
how
the
self
response
to
the
census
changed
over
time
and
the
red
areas
are
showing
you
if
there
was
a
considerable
drop
off
a
drop
off
of
10
10
percentage
points
or
more
in
the
self-response
of
that
area
as
compared
to
2010.
C
and
again
that
area
around
the
university
of
minnesota
saw
a
considerable
drop-off
this
time
around,
and
so
it
is
in
that
area
that
I
am
kind
of
most
concerned.
When
I
look
across
minneapolis,
you
know
most
concerned
of
that
area
that
saw
a
considerable
drop
also
just
knowing
that
it's
concentrated
with
college
students
is
a
concern.
C
If
they
were
able
to
do
so
and
that's
for
the
university
of
minnesota,
they
did
submit,
they
were
able
to
submit
information
for
their
students,
but
for
those
who
were
living
off
campus,
that's
where
the
real
concern
is,
and
that's
because
the
pandemic
hit
right
at
the
same
time,
that
classes
were
shutting
down.
C
I'm
sorry,
the
the
pandemic
hit
classes
shut
down
right
at
the
same
time
that
census
takers
would
have
been
going
out
to
these
college
areas
and
they
weren't
able
to
get
out
into
the
field
as
they
had
planned
to
do,
and
that's
why
we're
seeing
perhaps
this
drop
off
in
response
rate.
C
That
said,
the
numbers
that
we
have
for
redistricting
are
the
numbers
that
we
have
for
redistricting,
there's
not
going
to
be
another
set
of
numbers
that
are
coming.
I
just
want
to
be
fully
transparent
and
let
you
know
everything
that
I
know
about
the
data
that
we're
getting
out
of
the
2020
census.
So
that's
that's
why
I
raised
this
issue.
Is
that
really
the
census
bureau
did
a
good
job
moving
forward
in
incredibly
difficult
circumstances?
C
You
know
the
pandemic
was
a
huge
one.
There
were
other
difficult
circumstances
as
well,
but
it's
that
count
of
college
students.
I
think
that
that
we
really
may
need
to
study
further
moving
forward.
C
So,
let's
get
to
the
numbers.
Now.
What
we
saw
is
a
rise
in
minneapolis's
population.
We
grew
from
300
578
000
in
2010
to
429
954
in
2020,
and
I'm
showing
you
kind
of
way
back
to
1970
what
the
population
was.
C
We
really
have
seen
generally
a
dip
in
population
a
little
bit
of
a
growth
between
1990
and
2000,
just
14
000
people,
but
you
can
see
that
the
almost
50
000
that
were
added
this
decade
is
much
more
than
we
have
seen
in
many
many
decades,
and
so
this,
this
burst
of
growth
represents
concentrated
growth
in
minneapolis.
I
I
talked
about
the
concentrated
growth
in
the
twin
cities.
C
Metropolitan
area-
it
really
was
much
of
it
was-
was
concentrated
in
the
center
cities,
particularly
in
minneapolis,
and
we
can
see
that
when
we
look
at
the
state's
fastest
growing
cities
here,
minneapolis
tops
the
list
in
terms
of
the
fastest
growing
cities.
Over
the
last
decade,
saint
paul
comes
in
second
at
just
just
over
26
000,
and
then
you
can
see
a
series
of
other
cities,
many
of
which
are
suburban
cities
in
the
twin
cities.
That
also
grew
considerably
over
the
last
decade.
C
Many,
but
not
all,
of
those
cities
are
those
that
are
kind
of
on
the
edges
of
the
metro
that
still
have
room
to
build
and
expand
kind
of
into
undeveloped
or
unresidential
land.
But
you
can
also
see
some
of
the
suburbs
that
are
closer
into
the
center
edina,
for
example,
st
louis
park
that
have
have
been
around
for
for
some
time
and
kind
of
fully
developed,
but
now
are
kind
of
growing
up
into
the
air
in
addition
and
filling
in
density.
C
When
we
look
by
race
at
the
changes
that
have
occurred
in
minneapolis,
we
deviate
a
little
bit
from
the
story.
I
was
telling
you
earlier
where
we
see
a
decline
in
the
white
non-hispanic
population
and
we
see
an
increase
in
bypac
populations,
because
in
minneapolis
what
happened
is
the
white?
Non-Hispanic
grew
and
bypac
populations
grew
as
well,
and
you
can
see
that
here
by
looking
at
2010
in
2020.
C
Because
of
this
growth,
minneapolis
went
kind
of
jointly
from
about
40
percent
bypac
to
about
50
over
the
course
of
of
the
decade.
C
Now,
if
we
look
group
by
group,
you
can
see
that
we
have
some
detail
so
far
in
the
groups
that
grew
and
kind
of
the
racial
composition
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
the
black
population
black
or
it
includes
black
or
african
american.
So
it
includes
both
u.s
born
black
african-american
residents
and
also
people
belonging
to
newer
immigrant
groups.
That's
all
in
that
one
category
called
black
or
african
american
is
how
it's
listed
on.
C
The
multiple
race
group
really
has
grown
considerably,
and
you
know
this
is
one
way
of
looking
at
the
data.
You
can
also
look
at
these
data
rather
than
looking
at
each
of
these
groups
for
single
race
reporting.
For
example,
I'm
showing
you
here
black
or
african
american
alone.
These
are
people
who
said
that
they
are
only
one
race
and
that
race
is,
for
example,
black
or
african
american,
but
if
we
included,
rather
than
putting
every
everyone
who
reported
more
than
one
race
that
you
can
see,
there
were
22
000
of
them.
C
And
then,
if
we
look
at
the
districts,
the
wards
in
in
minneapolis,
we
can
see
that
the
third
district
grew
by
far
the
most
in
the
last
decade.
So
the
ideal
population
is
about
33
000,
just
over
33,
000
and
ideal.
You
all
probably
know
this,
but
for
those
who
who
may
not
know
it
who
are
listening
to
the
broadcast,
the
ideal
is
just
the
city
population,
divided
by
the
13
districts
that
will
be
built
from
the
block
level
census
data.
C
So
you
can
see
that
there
was
growth
in
the
second
over
the
ideal.
The
second
is
over
the
ideal
that
the
third
is
over
the
ideal,
the
fifth,
the
the
fourth
just
barely,
let's
see
the
tenth
and
then
the
other
districts
are
slightly
below
the
ideal.
Those
that
are
above
will
need
to
shrink
in
geographic
size
to
meet
that
ideal
population
of
33,
073
and
those
that
are
under
the
ideal.
For
example,
district
8
will
need
to
grow
in
geographic
size
to
make
up
that
same
number
of
people.
C
Before
I
move
on
to
kind
of
the
racial
composition
of
these
districts,
I
just
want
to
make
a
note
of
kind
of
one
of
the
features
of
the
census
data
that
we're
getting
this
time
around
is
data
that
have
been
protected
by
something
called
differential
privacy,
and
this
is
something
that
the
census
bureau
has
done:
purposely
to
protect
the
privacy
and
confidentiality
of
people
who
responded
to
the
census,
they've
injected
noise
or
fictitious
people
into
the
data
at
very
low
levels
of
geography,
so
that,
when
you
build
blocks
together
into
larger
wards,
some
of
that
fuzziness
or
some
of
that
noise
is
doesn't
make
such
a
big
difference.
C
C
And
so
we
can
see
here
a
considerable
racial
diversity
across
our
diff,
our
various
districts.
We
have
five
districts,
I'm
sorry.
We
have
four
districts
here
that
have
a
percent
white
that
is
below
50
percent.
C
You
can
see
that
districts,
5
and
6
have
a
high
percentage
of
african-american
or
black.
This
isn't
news
to
any
of
us
who
have
lived
in
minneapolis
for
some
time,
but
these
are.
These
are
the
latest
census
figures
coming
out
of
the
2020.
C
C
Finally,
I
just
want
to
note
kind
of
the
changes
that
are
happening
where
minneapolis
is
positioned
with
respect
to
the
redistricting.
That's
happening
at
the
state
legislature,
because
it's
undergoing
a
parallel
process
and
I
think
it
positions
minneapolis
slightly
different
than
than
it
was
positioned
in
2010.
C
for
our
u.s
congressional
districts.
You
can
see
that
the
ideal
population
size
now
is
about
713
000
district
5,
of
which
minneapolis
is
apart,
grew
by
about
73
000
people.
C
And
then
we
can
see
across
the
state
senate
districts.
You
know
a
considerable
spread
in
terms
of
which
districts
need
to
grow
and
which
districts
need
to
shrink
in
order
to
meet
the
ideal
population
of
85
000.
That's
a
little
bit
easier
to
see
here
on
this
map.
C
It
very
closely
mirrors
those
patterns
that
I
was
telling
you
about
about
where
the
growth
happened
in
the
state,
the
outer
edge
of
the
twin
cities,
metropolitan
area
and
then,
if
we
zoom
in
to
the
twin
cities,
even
the
minneapolis
districts
in
dark
green,
there
show
you
that
they
will
need
to
shrink
and
additional
districts
will
need
to
build,
be
built
in
those
areas,
particularly
the
house,
the
house
district
that
will
be
close
in
size
to
the
population
that
was
added
in
minneapolis.
C
Now
I
don't
know
exactly
how
the
legislature
will
draw
those
districts
or
how
the
court
panel,
that
is
also
working
on
maps,
will
draw
those
districts,
but
just
in
terms
of
population
size,
there
was
enough
growth
in
that
area
that
that
tremendous
amount
of
growth
in
in
minneapolis
that
considerable
representation
will
be
shifted.
Inward
into
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
so
with
that
I
will
stop
sharing
my
slides
and
I
am
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have
for
me.
B
D
D
C
I
mean,
I
think,
if
we're
not,
if
we're
talking
about
people
other
than
college
students
about
the
relocation,
we
don't
have
information
on
that.
Yet
there's
something.
That's
called
a
post-enumeration
survey
that
the
census
bureau
does,
after
it
takes
a
census,
and
it
goes
back
into
sampled
areas
and
surveys.
C
My
biggest
concern,
of
course,
is
those
college
students
biggest
concern
because
it
was
the
the
group
that's
really
difficult
to
meet
to
catch
anyway
in
a
census
because
they're
just
that
their
their
focus
is
not
on.
C
You
know
their
civic
responsibility
to
fill
out,
their
census
form
they're
thinking
about
their
studies
and
they're
thinking
about
their
friends,
and
you
know
I
I
have
a
college
student
myself,
so
I'm
pretty
sure
you
know
what
she's
thinking
about
and
it
probably
wouldn't
be
the
census,
and
just
because
the
university
and
other
post-secondary
schools
were
shutting
down
at
the
very
same
time
that
these
forms
were
going
out
and
that
the
you
know
count
didn't
happen
in
these
areas
like
it
like
it
had
initially
been
planned
for.
A
Hi,
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
thought
that
was
really
interesting.
My
question
is
so
I'm,
for
example,
I'm
biracial-
and
I
indicated
as
such
on
my
census
form.
So,
but
you
know
one
of
those
components
is
I'm
also
asian.
Does
that
mean
that,
like
on
our
district
r,
I'm
not
going
to
show
up
as
being
asian,
I'm
only
going
to
show
up
as
being
in
the
two
or
more
races
category.
C
So
the
census
bureau
has
published
data
that
allows
you
to
look
in
look
in
look
at
people
who
are
who
have
reported
as
biracial
in
either
or
in
multiple
categories.
It
depends
on
if
it's
district
r,
that
minneapolis
is
using,
is
that
is
that
correct
the
one
that
I
kind
of
showed
you
today?
C
I
didn't
see
on
that
tool
that
there
was
a
way
to
look
at
multiple
race
alone,
it's
called
alone
or
in
combination,
but
those
data
are
published.
It
may
be
that
you
have
to
upload
them
into
the
tool
from
the
census
data
that
that
have
been
published
so
so
they're
out
there.
They
just
would
need
to
be
added
additionally
and
those
kind
of
22
000
people
that
we
looked
at
on
that
one
graph
would
need
to
be
redistributed
into
the
various
groups.
C
The
difficulty
then,
of
course,
is
that
you
know
you're
you're
double
counting
people
in
in
multiple
groups,
and
so
it's
not
you
know
you.
You
probably
wouldn't
take
that
information
to
draw
those
lines,
but
just
as
an
additional
data
source
to
understand
how
the
racial
composition
of
different
groups
changes.
If
you
take
that
broader
lens.
A
C
E
Chair
my
question-
I
guess,
is
getting
at
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
evaluate
as
we're
thinking
about
communities
of
interest
and,
of
course
it
has
a
very
broad
scope
of
what
that
actually
means
for
the
law
we
need
to
consider.
But
I'm
thinking
about
the
limitations
in
what
the
census
data
provides.
I
think
group
member
can
brought
up
a
really
good
point.
You
know
what
does
multi-racial
mean.
We
also
discovered
that
it
seems,
like
hispanic
seems
to
be
separated
out.
E
It's
not
divided
up
as
ethnicity,
it
seems
to
be
kind
of
puts
all
together
in
district
r,
and
I
guess
the
bigger
point
I
have
is
that
you
know
when
we
have
a
category
like
black,
african-american
or
asian
there's,
not
a
lot
of
distinguishing
between
that.
So
are
there
any
other
resources
that
are
published
either
by
the
census
or
otherwise
to
have
this
conversation
about
where
people
live
within
the
city.
C
Yeah
absolutely
so.
The
census
bureau
does
publish
the
information
by
hispanic
ethnicity
by
different
race
groups,
and
so
again
that's
out
there,
but
I
don't
think
it's
in
that
mapping
tool.
It
looked
to
me
like
you
could
upload
it.
F
My
question
is
about
the
standard
deviations
we're
working
within
to
get
to
the
desired
population.
Distribution
between
the
words
we're
going
to
draw
in
our
maps
is
five
percent
and
that
exists
in
statute
or
in
the
charter
language.
F
I've
come
to
the
acceptance
that,
because
the
concept
of
equity
is
not
really
represented
in
statute
or
in
charter
language,
as
it
comes
to
the
demographics
that
we
are
limited
to
for
creating
our
maps.
That
standard
deviation
becomes
that
much
more
important,
and
so
I
wanted
to
check
in
with
you
about
when
you
put
up
the
map
about
the
minneapolis
self-reporting,
the
participation
in
the
census.
F
Besides
just
the
the
area
around
the
university
which
was
red,
there
were
also
other
areas
of
the
city
that
had
not
it
not
to
the
great
you
know
the
10
percent
or
greater
under
participation,
but
there
were
other
areas
that
had
potentially
under
under
participation
that
exceeds
our
five
percent
standard.
Deviation
that
we're
using
to
draw
our
maps.
So
my
question
is:
are
there
other
areas
that
don't
rise
to
the
underrepresentation
level
of
the
university,
but
that
we're
still
had
less
less
self-reporting?
You
know
representation
that
we
should
be
aware
of.
C
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
that,
because
it's
an
important
one,
absolutely
the
groups
that
are
likely
to
be
undercounted
by
a
census
are
not
just
those
that
dropped
in
participation,
and
so
I
didn't
intend
to
kind
of
represent
that
to
this
group.
The
groups
that
are
not
likely
to
ris
are
less
likely
to
respond
to
the
census.
C
Are
groups
that
you
know
we
knew
from
before.
The
census
would
be
less
likely
to
respond
for
a
multiple
range
of
reasons,
including
language
barriers,
including
distrust
of
the
government,
including
you
know,
just
being
busy
having
multiple
jobs
you
know
being
highly
mobile,
so
populations
of
color
by
populations
tend
to
be
among
groups
that
are
less
likely
to
respond
to
the
census.
C
There
tends
to
be
an
undercount,
and
preliminary
data
suggests
that
there
is
an
under
count,
or
maybe
an
undercount,
this
time
around,
of
children
in
the
2020
census,
and
there
was
a
2010
census,
and
so
that
is
a
concern
as
well.
You
know,
low
wealth
communities
tend
to
be
missed
by
census,
and
I
think
we
saw
that
we
saw
a
light.
C
A
lower
response
rate
in
communities
that
are
more
racially
and
ethnically
diverse,
as
we
would
have
expected,
we
did
see
a
really
great
outreach
effort,
but
we
did
still
see
those
lower
response
rates
in
the
communities
that
are
are
historically
undercounted
by
censuses,
and
so
I
think,
while
we
can't
quantify
what
that
undercount
is
either
of
college
students
or
populations
of
color
or
highly
mobile
populations
or
low
wealth
populations,
we
can't
quantify
it
at
this
time.
C
It's
really,
I
guess
good,
to
be
aware
of
when
you're
looking
at
those
data
that
that
you
know
that
that
potential
undercount
is
there
and-
and
you
know
hopefully
we'll
have
more
information
about
what
that
under
count
is
in
over
the
next
year.
As
this
post-enumeration
survey
is,
is
released.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
had
a
related
question.
I
also
has
been
concerned
about
the
undercount
and
it's
really
a
two-part
question.
One
is:
are
we
bound
by
the
census
data,
for
instance
the
city
of
minneapolis
sends
out
water
bills
and
has
that
you
know
data
about
at
least
to
some
extent
that
people
may
live
at
certain
addresses
who
are
not
counted
in
the
census.
C
Thank
you
yeah
great
question.
I
don't
actually
know
the
answer
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
about
whether
you
are
bound
to
the
census
data.
I
do
know
that
I
don't
want
to
overstate
the
errors
either,
because
this
is
the
the
truth.
Is
we
just
don't
know
fully
about
the
quality
of
the
census
data?
At
this
time,
however,
there's
not
really
a
data
source
that
is
comparable
that
could
be
used
for
redistricting.
C
You
pointed
out
utility
bills,
you
sure
could
point
to
those
and
say
there
should
be
more
households
counted
than
were
counted.
That
would
be,
you
know
that
would
be
good
evidence
to
have,
but
with
those
utility
bills
you
wouldn't
have
the
age
or
the
composition
or
the
number
of
people
in
the
household,
so
you
wouldn't
really
have
the
the
full
picture
that
the
census
was
hoping
to
collect.
C
So,
even
though
the
census
is
imperfect,
this
is
what
we
have
right
now.
If
minneapolis
charter
allows
for
additional
data
sources-
and
you
feel
like
you're
able
to
get
your
hands
on
something
that
is
more
complete,
then
then
the
census
that
that
certainly,
you
know,
may
be
a
possibility.
It's
really
tough
right
now,
just
to
know,
though,
just
because
I
wanted
to
I
wanted
to
bring
to
you
the
issue
of
census,
quality
that
this
was
a
particularly
hard
census
to
take.
C
There
was
a
lot
going
on
and,
and
it
was
it
was
a
tough
one,
but
I
don't
want
to
fully
undermine
the
quality
of
it,
because
we
just
don't
know
and
in
many
cases
it's
there
isn't
there
isn't
an
alternative.
C
Unfortunately,
we
we've
got
what
we've
got,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
come
back
at
some
point
and
and
let
you
know
when
some
of
those
surveys
come
back
and
we
have
more
information
about
the
quality
but
kind
of
the
legislature,
the
courts,
many
other
you
know,
states
and
cities
across
the
land
are
are
moving
forward
with
the
redistricting
data
as
they
are,
but
I
have
heard
I
have
also
heard
of
other
cities
that
have
used
supplemental
data
just
to
compare
what
they've
got
coming
out
of
the
census.
G
H
Oh,
that
was
just
a
comment
that
homeless
people
also
might
be
under
counted.
I
know
when
I
was
doing
census
work
last
year
that
there
was
a
difficult
time
trying
to
track
down
people
who
are
not
housed.
B
C
B
Bye
hearing
no
further
questions
and
there
being
no
other
items
on
our
agenda,
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
