That’s not how it works. There’s the Self-Response rate vs the Non-Response follow up rate. The census workers are going to match every single housing unit they can find with a name, even if they have to ask the landlord or neighbor or refer to the tax rolls. It’s simply more accurate with the Self-Response to locate residents who are not on the tax rolls (such as children and seniors)
A recount in 2021 would be even less accurate, since most people wouldn’t remember to do it twice.
For now it looks like a massive undercount in California and Texas cities, while Cook and Wayne counties surpassed their 2010 rates.
