Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop announced Monday that the city will establish an office within the Division of Planning dedicated to ensuring that its population is accurately counted during the 2020 U.S. Census.

The move comes as the city continues to contend that it was undercounted by more than 40,000 residents in the 2010 Census, and that several high-rise buildings were missed entirely during that count. The new office, which will be staffed with new hires, planning employees, interns, and temporary staff, will be tasked with updating the residential mailing address list to be used by the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure that new buildings have been added.

"We know that Jersey City was significantly undercounted in the 2010 Census and this administration will not allow that to happen under our watch," Fulop said in a statement. "We only get one opportunity to do this right. The importance of an accurate census count cannot be understated, as millions of dollars is at stake and this data lasts with a city for 10 years."

40,000 undercount? Sounds legit considering those not wanting to be counted.
