Thereare a lot of controversies on whether the census undercount varies bygeographical location. This is important to determine because census countsaffect representation in state and federal legislatures and the distribution oftax dollars back to localities. Are some cities being "victimized" bythe undercount? Are certain groups being "victimized" as well? We aregoing to use these data to try to address these questions.
