It plans a census that will be cheaper and better than the 1990 census, combining the traditional headcount with surveys that will make estimates concerning the people who are the most difficult to reach. However, the survey-enhanced plan faces opposition from some Republicans, minority groups, and data purists, and David McMillen of the House Oversight Committee says that if Congress remains reluctant to give the Census Bureau more money, the bureau could be compelled to stop counting people when its funds runs out, leading to the country's worst ever census. The controversy surrounding the survey-enhanced aspect of the census is described, and the way that the survey would work is discussed. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
