Re: MI The Census - No Demographics?

[Joshua Ostroff]

US Census Demographic data is based on the "long form," which is sent to about 1 out of 6 households, and ascribed to all households in a given area (block, block group, tract, etc.) One of those non-secrets that makes census data less reliable for some purposes, but no less marketable. I'm sure that the 2000 data will still be "free" in raw form.

I just filled out my 2000 census. Interestingly, it asked only about how many people, what race they were, and whether I owned my house.


There were no demographic questions. Is this true? Does this mean no free year 2000 demographics?
