Memorandum 2021.15: Administrative Data Used in the 2020 Census
This memorandum describes how administrative data was used in the 2020 Census. The intended use of administrative data and the expected sources of data evolved throughout the research and planning for the 2020 Census and their actual use was expanded during 2020 Census fielding. This report documents the final use of administrative data during the 2020 Census. It updates and can replace the similar “intended” use memo made public in 2020.
