Census Bureau Should Improve 'Residence Rules'
Print This
September 14 -- Rules used in the 2000 census to help people identify their "usual residence" were too complicated, says a new National Research Council report. Core principles to determine residency should be developed for the 2010 census, the report says, and the Census Bureau should improve how it communicates them to respondents. The bureau also should study ways to collect data on individuals' ties to other locales and dwellings.
