Census 2000 (1302)

The failure to accurately count a state's population can seriously affect its federal funding. This program examines the upcoming Census and its goal to try to reach "everyone." We focus on those who have been repeatedly undercounted, why this happens, and how that effects the outcome of the census. We also encourage people to fill out their census forms by discussing what to expect, and additional steps taken by the bureau to ensure everyone does.
