UCLA Report Finds Latinos, Blacks Most Likely To be Missed by Census
LOS ANGELES
Latinos and African Americans in Los Angeles County account for a disproportionate number of people who were not counted in Census 2000, according to a new UCLA analysis.
Los Angeles County neighborhoods with the highest undercount rates also had high levels of poverty and a higher percentage of children, the analysis, conducted by The Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, showed. There were fewer people in these neighborhoods who owned their homes, and more unemployed people and foreign-born residents than in neighborhoods with low undercount rates, according to the analysis.
