                  **CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY**

                Census Bureau to Brief Reporters on 
           Local Census 2000 Supplementary Survey Results

What:     The Census Bureau's Detroit Regional Office will brief media on 
          new Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS) data on demographic, 
          economic, social and housing characteristics for cities and
          counties of 250,000 population or more. These data, including 
          those for the Canton/Massillon, Ohio, Metropolitan Statistical 
          Area, will illustrate characteristics, such as education, 
          language spoken at home, household income, poverty and travel 
          time to work. The 700,000-household survey was conducted 
          simultaneously with last year's census and was designed to test 
          the operational feasibility of collecting long form-type data 
          independently of a decennial census.

When:     Thursday, Nov. 15, at 11 a.m. EST

Who:      Dwight Dean, Detroit regional director
          Leonard Norry, assistant division chief, Housing Characteristics 
          Branch, U.S. Census Bureau

Where:    Stark County Metropolitan Housing Authority
          400 East Tuscarawas
          Canton, Ohio
