The Census Bureau acknowledges the long-standing undercount of young children in decennial censuses and in Census Bureau surveys.
Evaluations show that Census Bureau surveys like the American Community Survey, the Current Population Survey, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation also undercount young children, which can result in biased survey estimates.

If implemented as planned, the various activities the Bureau is developing should position the agency to address the undercount. Other aspects included are the geographic distribution of the net undercount and an exploration for some of the potential explanations for the high net undercount of children.
The number of young children in the US is growing, but almost one million young children (under age 5) were missed in the U.S. Decennial Census. until Census Day, April 1,the Bureau will launch a series of operations aimed at reducing the differential undercount including building a complete and accurate address list, launching an Integrated Communications Campaign to increase awareness and encourage participation in the census, and implementing special enumeration.
