Synopsis

The 2020 census is about a year away, and Multnomah County officials are looking ahead to ensure an accurate count. Locally, it’s estimated that 20 percent of the population has been historically undercounted. Immigrants and communities of color are especially likely to be undercounted. We talk with Commissioner Lori Stegmann about the efforts she is leading in the county, and Jenny Lee, advocacy director for the Coalition of Communities of Color.
