Census data are
very good sources of information. However, be aware that it is not easy to
count everyone, nor, does everyone want to be counted. Extraordinary efforts
are taken to get everyone counted. Current issues about census data
involve the controversy over replacing enumerating with sampling
(statistician favorite), and new definitions for race and ethnicity (for
resource allocation purposes). Since counting can be done in so many ways,
and interracial marriages are on the rise, issues will remain.
