The U.S. Census Bureau says improvements to the design of the 2020 census questions and the tabulating of answers led to an increase in the count of multiracial people in the United States, defending its method against arguments that the jump was mostly a statistical illusion.
The United States' largest statistical agency said in a statement this week to the Associated Press that millions more people reported multiple responses to the race question in 2020 than they did in 2010.
