  1. Census -- Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon
    "About one in three U.S. residents is a minority," said Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon. "To put this into perspective, there are more minorities in this country today than there were people in the United States in 1910. In fact, the minority population in the U.S. is larger than the total population of all but 11 countries."

  3. Census (U.S.) -- Census Bureau
    The Census of Agriculture is a complete accounting of United States agricultural production, farms, farm production, crops, livestock, poultry and more. Since 1982, it has been conducted every five years in years ending in "2" and "7." The Census was carried out under the authority of the U.S. Bureau of the Census until 1997. The 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 1997 Census of Agriculture was the first census conducted by Department of Agriculture. The most recent census was conducted in 2002; data releases will begin in spring of 2004.
  4. Census (U.S.) -- Bureau
    Between fall 1997 and spring 1998, the Census Bureau opened 12 regional census centers (RCCs) as temporary sites near the 12 permanent regional offices, to provide additional space to manage the large Census 2000 work load. These RCCs support the address list development activities and the reviews by tribal and local governments.

  6. Census -- United States
    Census records are one of the most valuable primary sources created. The United States' census was taken every ten years beginning in 1790. Canadian census records were taken every ten years beginning in 1841.
  7. Census -- Federal Census
    By May 1987, the Census Bureau had determined that the 1990 census could be adjusted for undercounting by using a technique called a post-enumeration survey (PES). The PES would allow the census to be checked for accuracy by sending census takers back to a given number of households that would be representative of the entire U.S. population and comparing the information gathered with the initial head count. If discrepancies arose, the bureau could make corrections and project them to neighborhoods with similar demographic characteristics. But in October 1987, officials from the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), which oversees the Census Bureau, had decided against making any statistical adjustment to the 1990 census. As a result, in 1988, New York, Los Angeles, and several other cities, as well as a number of states and organizations, brought suit in federal district court. They claimed that the secretary's decision not to adjust the 1990 census violated their right to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution and asked the court to enjoin the census.
  8. Census -- Census Data
    The Census and Statistics Act 1905 and Privacy Act 1988 guarantee that no personally-identifiable information is released from the ABS[4] to other government organisations, or the public. However the 2001 census offered for the first time, an option to have personal data archived by the National Archives of Australia and released to the public 99 years later and in 2001 54% of Australians agreed to do so.[5] The ABS ... makes confidentialised Census data available to researchers, who must make various legal commitments before being given access.[6]
  9. Census -- Information
    "The fully indexed 1911 Census of Canada is searchable by family name for the first time anywhere on the web," Sullivan said. "The Census, only the fifth general census in Canada, includes information on each inhabitant of the country, including place of habitation, marital status, age, place of birth, religion, occupation, education, and more. It is truly a wealth of information to anyone researching Canadian ancestry."
  10. Census -- People
    Census officials have always found it harder to count some groups than others in the population. These include individuals without a settled residence or with more than one residence, people suspicious of government (for example, undocumented immigrants), and people living in nonstandard housing situations (overcrowded units or squatter housing). Since missing some people results in less political representation and government funding for their local areas, the courts have ruled that the Census Bureau violates the Fourteenth Amendment rights of uncounted individuals. Under court pressure, the bureau instituted a large-scale postenumeration survey (pes) in July 1990 to evaluate the complete count. The bureau may decide to adjust the April 1990 complete count if the pes results in conjunction with the census provide a better estimate of the American population.
