Census Count Sparks Complaints Over Early Results
Washington reports that the Census Bureau faces broad criticism of its preliminary figures as officials sort errors. Officials say about 162 million people, 80 percent of the projected 210 million, have been counted. Critics include Congress, mayors, and business groups, amid concerns over per capita federal aid and district redrawing. The bureau defends mail back forms with 87 percent returned and notes some nonresponse and neighbor-sourced data.
