Census dispute over Vidora population figures
The article argues the Vidora census undercounts residents. It notes fewer than 2,500 within the city limits versus an expected 3,000 and cites a school census showing 673 youths aged five to twenty one. Applying school figures, the author estimates Vidora’s population around 3,028, implying a hidden gain despite official totals.
