Kansas Census Method Uniquely Shapes Big Eight Tax Aid
Kansas uses its own state census to allocate tax rebates, hurting cities with large student populations like Lawrence which lose revenue for uncounted students. Ames Iowa benefits from per capita funds and state aid, including fire department costs and airport subsidies, while cities may expand population via local censuses. Nebraska and Missouri mirror this approach with federal census rules guiding aid.

Census Rules Hit Lawrence In Pocketbook
Lawrence officials criticize the 1971 Douglas County agricultural census for undercounting students from KU Haskell and Baker. The count shows 54,420 in Douglas County with 42,152 in Lawrence, under state rules that omit many college residents, costing the city $27,000 to $55,000 yearly in state tax distributions. City leaders urge adopting federal counting rules to reflect true population and funding needs.
