Decennial Census 2020 - Texas
2020 Count Question Resolution (CQR) and the 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) programs
After the 2020 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau launched the 2020 Count Question Resolution (CQR) and the 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review(PCGQR) programs. The Census CQR and PCGQR programs allow states and local jurisdictions to submit proposed corrections on housing unit counts and boundary errors that may have occurred during the 2020 Census. The Texas Demographic Center (TDC) shared information about the programs through various avenues (conferences, emails, newsletters, and a webinar) to encourage local governmental entities to participate. In addition, the Governor’s office authorized TDC to conduct a review of all group quarters within the state and submit our findings to the PCGQR and CQR programs.

P.L. 94-171 Redistricting Data Summary
Public Law (P.L.)94-171, enacted by Congress in December 1975, requires the Census Bureau to provide states the opportunity to identify the small area geography for which they need data to conduct legislative redistricting. The law also requires the U.S. Census Bureau to furnish tabulations of the population to each state, including for those small areas the states have identified, within one year of Census day.
Apportionment
Apportionment is the process of dividing the 435 memberships, or seats, in the House of Representatives among the 50 states based on the population figures collected during the decennial census. The apportionment population consists of the resident population of the 50 states, plus the overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents living with them who could be allocated to a state. The population of the District of Columbia is not included in the apportionment population.
