City of Cedar Park Challenges Census Numbers

The 2010 Census tallied the city’s population at 48,937. It’s about 5,000 less than what the city estimated. Not hitting the 50,000 mark can affect the city’s regional representation. What’s at stake if population is shown to be over 50K: (1) City will take over traffic light signalization on state highways. (2) City will maintain its third seat on general assembly at Capital Area Council of Governments. (3) Additional funding and grants. (4) Retains its seat on the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Policy Board.
The city is challenging the 2010 Census. The speed at which the challenge is to be resolved can take several months, depending on the complexity.
