The Counting for Dollars 2020 Project aims to understand 1) the extent to which the federal government will rely on data from the 2020 Census to guide the distribution of federal funding to states, localities, and households across the nation and 2) the impact of the accuracy of the 2020 Census on the fair, equitable distribution of these funds. The project has analyzed spending by state for 55 federal programs — — - — ($883,094,826,042 in FY2016).

Programs (August 2017)* • Tax credit programs allow a special exclusion, exemption, or deduction from gross income or provide a special credit, a preferential rate of tax, or a deferral of tax liability. • Procurement programs award a portion of Federal prime contract dollars to small businesses located in areas selected on the basis of census -derived data. The four uses of census -derived datasets to geographically allocate funding are: • Define eligibility cri' — that is, identify which organizations or individuals can receive funds. • Compute formulas that geographically allocate funds to eligible recipients. • Rank project applications based on priorities (e.g., smaller towns, poorer neighborhoods). • Set interest rates for federal loan programs. The two categories of census -derived datasets are: • Geographic classifications — the characterization (e.g., rural), delineation (e.g., Metropolitan Areas), or designation (e.g., Opportunity Zones) of specific geographic areas. • Variable datasets o Annual updates of population and housing variables collected in the Decennial Census. o Household surveys collecting new data elements (e.g., income, occupation) by using the Decennial Census to design representative samples and interpret results.

Counting Young Children in the 2020 Census Counting everyone once, only once, and in the right place An estimated 5 percent of kids under the age of 5 weren't counted in the 2010 Census. That's about 1 million young children, the highest of any age group. We need your help closing this gap in the 2020 Census. Here's what our research tells us about why young children are missed and what you can do to help make sure they are counted. • Emphasize that the census counts everyone where they live and sleep most of the time, even if the living arrangement is temporary or the parents of the child do not live there. • If the child truly spends equal amounts of time between two homes, count The child splits time between them where they stayed on Census Day, April 1.
