Sumario:The writers examine how multilevel perspectives on the modeling of census data offer a solution to the confounding of people and places in such analyses. They demonstrate how multilevel statistical procedures allow places to be considered in terms of several different scales simultaneously and how this provides important links with moves toward performance review in areas of public policy. They also provide an analysis of data on illiteracy from the 1991 Indian Census in order to provide an example of this approach and its usefulness.
