`Say it louder for the ones who swear these numbers are accurate. I have never participated in the census which is why I already knew this
Well, I think my initial comment came off wrong. I only meant to corroborate the fact that a number of minorities refuse to respond. That said, if I'm being honest, sure many don't answer - which means yes SOME folks just aren't counted whatsoever - but prior to the 2010 census, a lot of money and effort was put into projections, estimations and 'pre-census research'.
The funding has been cut so much now that idk how things will look in 2020, but in 2010 and before, there were several contingencies in place in the event of widespread refusal to answer. Tbh, given all that I know I'd say the CB estimates of population/demographics are pretty much accurate +/- say, 1-3mil. And while that's still quite a lot of people, it's frankly just not enough to have much of an effect of percentages the way some people are claiming.
nikkas think avoiding enumerators is going to keep the feds away or whatever meanwhile they'll happily have their taxes and bills and bank statements or whatever delivered to a particular address as if the feds can't see your mail too..
