MPPS Report: Confidence in the accuracy of Michigan’s 2020 Census count among local leaders was not very high, slips further

August 25, 2020

Abstract

This report presents the opinions of Michigan’s local government leaders regarding the 2020 U.S. Census, including their confidence in the potential accuracy of the count both locally and at the state level, as well as information about local actions to boost census participation among residents. These findings are based on statewide surveys of local government leaders in the Spring 2020 wave of the Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS), with a comparison to the Spring 2019 and Spring 2010 waves of the MPPS.
