**EDITOR'S NOTE - URGENT**
Figure in Centenarians Report Contains Error
New Report to be Issued
The Census Bureau has discovered an error in one of the figures (page
13, No. 11) in the report titled Centenarians in the United States,
P23-199, on which the product announcement CB99-63 ("Four of Every Five
Centenarians in the U.S. are Women, Census Bureau Reports") is based. This
has necessitated the removal of the report from the Internet. We will
replace it with a corrected version as soon as possible. No correction is
necessary for the product announcement.
The erroneous chart, "Ten States with the Highest Percentage of Total
State Population Aged 100 or Over: 1990," affects the order of rankings.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

The U.S. Census Bureau, pre-eminent collector and disseminator of timely,
relevant and quality data about the people and the economy of the United
States, conducts a population and housing census every 10 years, an
economic census every five years and more than 100 demographic and
economic surveys every year, all of them evolving from the first census in
1790.
