Overview

The current approach to adjusting the census for undercount is like the puzzle on the cover of this report: it looks good at first, provided that one is willing to ignore a few rough edges. Yet it can produce a surprisingly inaccurate picture of how our nation has changed from one decade to the next.

Regardless of where you live or which party you support, this report will give you compelling reasons to question adjusted census data. It is essential reading for anyone who uses information from the United States Census.
