August 17, 2021 <br />Mark Statz, City Administrator <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main St <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br />Dear Mr. Statz: <br />The U.S. Census Bureau has released 2020 Census counts for your community: <br />As of April 1, 2020, the City of Centerville had 1,429 housing units, 1,411 households, and 3,896 <br />people (of whom 0 lived in group quarters facilities). Household size averaged 2.76 persons per <br />household. <br />The Metropolitan Council is certifying these numbers in lieu of its annual population estimates for 2020, in <br />accordance with Minnesota Statutes 473.24. These numbers will be the basis for redrawing legislative <br />district boundaries and for allocating certain kinds of state funding, such as Local Government Aid and the <br />Municipal State Aid Street program. The Council's estimates will resume in May 2022, when preliminary <br />estimates for April 1, 2021 will be released. <br />This letter includes a detailed report with additional 2020 Census results as well as comparable numbers <br />from the 2010 Census. The Census Bureau's initial release of data includes only the numbers necessary for <br />redistricting; additional information will follow in the coming months, including the full age distribution and <br />household types. They have not determined a release date for that additional data. <br />In January 2022, the Census Bureau's Count Question Resolution (CQR) program will begin. This provides <br />a process for governments to request corrections to the official counts if they believe the Census Bureau <br />used incorrect geographic boundaries or erroneously excluded some housing units from the data. <br />We encourage local governments to evaluate the 2020 Census counts within their jurisdiction and to <br />participate in the CQR program if they detect potential issues in the data. Any successful CQR corrections <br />will be incorporated into the Council's subsequent population estimates but will not affect redistricting, which <br />is scheduled to occur before the Census Bureau rules on CQR requests_ We will provide more details during <br />technical assistance workshops to be offered later in 2021. <br />If you would like further information, please visit https:h'i;.,... r. __... _.. ;: ;ensus20�, or contact me.
