Tribal nations face less accurate, more limited 2020 census data because of privacy methods

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:57 GMT

SANTA FE, N.M (AP) — During the 2020 census, Native American leaders across the U.S. invested time and resources to make sure their members were tallied during the head count, which determines political power and federal funding. But the detailed data sets from the 2020 census they will receive this month are more limited and less accurate than they were in the previous census — and it isn’t because the COVID-19 pandemic severely limited outreach efforts. Rather, it’s due to new privacy methods implemented by the U.S. Census Bureau in order to protect the confidentiality of participants, one of which introduces intentional errors, or “noise,” to the data.At stake is the availability and accuracy of data helping tribal leaders make decisions about where to locate grocery stores or schools and estimate future population growth. Census numbers determine funding for social programs, education, roads and elderly care for tribes that have been historically undercounted.“It was...

Big or little, it all adds up to Twins’ victory over Mets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:01:57 GMT

The Twins did a lot of good things on Friday night, some big, some little. In the end, it added up to a 5-2 victory over the New York Mets in front of 26,154 at Target Field.It took a good seven innings for it all to coalesce into a victory that reduced the Twins’ magic number for clinching the American League Central to at least 15 games.The Twins didn’t exactly knock right-hander Kodai Senga around, but they made the Mets’ best pitcher work — he threw 48 pitches in the first two innings combined — and New York turned the game over to its bullpen for the seventh.The big blows came from Royce Lewis, who plated two with a pair of run-scoring doubles, and Carlos Correa, who hit a mammoth, game-tying home run to start the fourth inning. But the smaller stuff added up, as well, such as four scoreless innings apiece from Twins relievers and a leadoff walk in the seventh from Matt Wallner — which lit the fuse for a three-run inning.The pure depth of small, important plays made manager Roc...
