I wish someone would report on how this survey was done, so we have an idea of the probable undercount. There was none of the publicity of the regular census, looking for workers or encouraging people to cooperate. How big was the sample used, and how was it drawn? Did they have enough Spanish-speaking field workers, and people who could be trusted in poor and student neighborhoods?
