Wisconsin&#8217;s largest city recently gained more than 800 residents after it was discovered that inmates at one of the local jails were wrongly assigned to a neighboring city.

Those cases also are still pending and could produce larger revisions.

Those facilities, along with college dorms, nursing homes and military barracks, were among the most difficult places to count as the coronavirus spread throughout the U.S. during crucial weeks for the census in the spring of 2020. Students were sent home from campuses, and prisons and nursing homes went into lockdowns when those residents were supposed to be counted.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging the numbers was frustrating for some city officials, who say the Census Bureau didn&#8217;t consider nuances of particular cases.<\/p>\n<p>In Kent, Ohio, officials weren\u2019t worried about their overall count, but rather undercounts in specific wards, particularly in a neighborhood home to hundreds of Kent State University students who deserted their apartments once remote learning was imposed during the pandemic. The neighborhood saw a construction boom in the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>After the appeal and revision, Kent lost 12 residents to neighboring Franklin township, and the Census Bureau didn\u2019t address the city\u2019s concerns, said Bridget Susel, Kent\u2019s community development director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis doesn\u2019t reflect the development we had. If you are going to count, let\u2019s make sure we count the right number of units,\u201d Susel said. \u201cI found it to be disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nothing can be done to change how congressional seats were divided among the states, nor to alter the figures used to redraw political districts.

States, counties and cities have until this summer to file challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Some municipalities have had cases resolved without the Census Bureau making the results public. Cases are resolved on on a \u201cfirst come, first served\u201d basis, the Census Bureau said in a statement Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe size and complexity of a case determines how quickly it moves through the process,\u201d the bureau said.<\/p>\n<p>For the town of Whiteville, Tennessee, a majority-Black community almost 60 miles (96 kilometers) northeast of Memphis, the population adjustment from 2,606 residents to 4,564 stemmed from inmates at a correctional facility being overlooked. The change means an extra $20,000 to $30,000 a month in population-based revenue from taxes the state collects and distributes. The money amounts to about 30% of the town&#8217;s budget.<\/p>\n<p>The win wasn&#8217;t easy. City Recorder Angelous Simmons had to provide numbers on the prison\u2019s population, document the geographic coordinates of the prison to show it was in the city\u2019s boundaries and then follow-up with repeated phone calls and emails to the Census Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is a considerable part of our budget,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cSo it was worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Follow Mike Schneider on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSchneiderAP\" data-ylk=\"slk:@MikeSchneiderAP;cpos:6;pos:1\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">@MikeSchneiderAP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
