What the census ‘overcount’ means — and doesn’t — for Rhode Island – The Boston Globe
The Put up-Enumeration Survey estimates that Rhode Island was overcounted by roughly 5.05 %. However there are a number of caveats to that quantity. It’s an estimate of census protection from a survey and is itself topic to error. And it was solely measuring the accuracy of the depend of households. The Put up-Enumeration Survey doesn’t embody what the Census Bureau calls “group quarters,” together with dorms and nursing properties.
All of these caveats imply that the overcount estimate will not be exact. Was the overcount sufficient for us to retain our extra congressional seat? Nobody can say for sure. There have been 13 different states with statistically vital overcounts or undercounts, and the method used to find out what number of seats Rhode Island receives must account for adjustments of their populations as nicely.
However that’s all simply conjecture as a result of in 1999 the U.S. Supreme Court docket dominated that estimates, like those created as a part of the Put up-Enumeration Survey, can’t be used to alter the “precise enumeration” of the census. The courtroom’s resolution rested on federal legislation and the Structure.
A Rhode Island GOP official blamed the state’s effort to advertise participation within the 2020 census for the overcount. That is like blaming the cheerleaders for an error within the rating of a basketball recreation.
Like virtually each different state within the nation, and with Census Bureau’s steerage, Rhode Island shaped a statewide Full Rely Committee to encourage participation within the 2020 census.
The Rhode Island committee didn’t do the precise counting. Greater than 65% of Rhode Island households accomplished the census themselves. 1000’s of Census Bureau enumerators knocked on doorways of these households that didn’t fill it out. By legislation, solely sworn federal staff may help Rhode Islanders as they stuffed out their questionnaires.
The Put up-Enumeration Survey confirmed that each state had some households that had been probably overcounted and households that had been undercounted. In accordance with the Census Bureau, an overcount will be the results of varied eventualities comparable to a toddler of divorced dad and mom being counted in two households, or school college students being counted by their dad and mom at residence in addition to at their school dorm. One probably situation in Rhode Island is the 1000’s of people that fled the pandemic and had been counted mistakenly at their summer time properties.
The Census Bureau has subtle strategies for sifting by the submissions and eradicating duplicate entries. For causes we have no idea, regardless of these programs, Rhode Island continues to be estimated to have a internet overcount. This isn’t the primary time — in 2000, there have been 22 states with statistically vital overcounts.
Rhode Island was a textbook instance of the group working along with the Census Bureau to encourage participation within the decennial depend. This degree of collaboration was essential in 2020, on condition that this was the primary census carried out on-line, counting occurred throughout a world pandemic, and there was widespread and intense public worry primarily based on political rhetoric. There’s a lot we are able to be taught from our outreach efforts with a purpose to be prepared for the subsequent census, and naturally we should at all times attempt for probably the most correct depend attainable, however we stay grateful to the numerous companions and leaders who labored collectively to coach Rhode Islanders in regards to the census.

Mindful Printables US launches comprehensive Ocean State nature guides featuring local hot spots and expert identification tips
Providence, Rhode Island – June 21, 2025 – As summer vacation begins, Rhode Island families are discovering a new way to transform ordinary beach walks and nature hikes into interactive learning experiences. Mindful Printables US has launched a comprehensive collection of downloadable nature guides specifically designed for the Ocean State, featuring everything from seashells found at Napatree Point to wildflowers blooming in local parks.
“Rhode Island’s diverse ecosystems-from our 400 miles of coastline to our inland forests-offer incredible learning opportunities right in our backyard,” says Rey Doon, founder of Mindful Printables US. “Our guides help families identify what they’re seeing while exploring the specific places where these discoveries are most likely to happen. When a child finds a moon snail shell at East Beach, they can learn not just what it is, but why it’s there.”
Comprehensive Rhode Island Nature Collection
The Rhode Island series includes five specialized guides covering the state’s most popular outdoor activities:
Seashells Guide: Features shells commonly found along RI’s shoreline with a curated list of the top 10 shelling locations, from East Beach in Charlestown to Mohegan Bluffs on Block Island, complete with parking information, peak seasons, and insider tips.
Wildflowers Guide: Identifies native and naturalized flowers throughout Rhode Island’s parks, trails, and coastal areas with seasonal blooming information.
Birds Guide: Showcases species found across the state’s varied habitats, from coastal birds at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge to woodland species in local parks.
Leaves & Trees Guide: Helps families identify Rhode Island’s diverse tree species, perfect for walks through places like Lincoln Woods or Arcadia Management Area.
Butterflies Guide: Features the colorful butterflies and moths found in Rhode Island gardens, fields, and conservation areas.
Each guide goes beyond simple identification, including tracking logs for recording discoveries, fun facts about local ecosystems, engaging games like crosswords and word searches, and detailed hot spot recommendations with practical visiting information.
More Than Just Identification
“What sets our guides apart is the local expertise,” notes Doon. “We don’t just show you what a surf clam looks like-we tell you that East Matunuck State Beach is one of the best places to find them, especially after a storm, and that you should arrive early on weekends for the best shelling experience.”
The printables are designed for various learning styles and age groups, featuring clear photographs, easy-to-read descriptions, interactive activities, and space for children to sketch their own discoveries. Teachers and homeschooling families have particularly embraced the guides for incorporating hands-on science into their curricula.
Local families report that the guides have transformed their outdoor experiences. “My kids used to get bored on beach walks,” says one Providence parent. “Now they’re actively hunting for specific shells and asking questions about what they find. It’s turned every beach day into a treasure hunt.”
Supporting Rhode Island’s Outdoor Education
The guides reflect Rhode Island’s commitment to environmental education and outdoor recreation. By highlighting specific locations and providing practical visiting information, Mindful Printables US supports local beaches, parks, and conservation areas while encouraging responsible exploration.
