Census Bureau Faces Challenges in Ensuring Minority Groups Are Counted

March 27, 2009 - Posted by Tyler Lewis

This week, NPR ran a short piece on the challenges the Census Bureau will face with next year's census, particularly with minorities who have been historically missed in previous censuses. 

Terry Ao, director of the census and voting programs for the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) and LCCR coalition member, talks about how the recession and the foreclosure crisis, which have been particularly hard on minorities, will make the census even harder.

Ao also participated in a LCCREF census 2010 conference call this week that addressed the challenges of getting an accurate count of underrepresented communities.
