                  **CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY**

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

What:  The Census Bureau's Chicago 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 Fort Wayne, Ind., 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:  Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. EST

Who:   Stanley D. Moore, Chicago regional director
       Alan R. Tupek, Demographic Statistical Methods Division chief
       U.S. Census Bureau

Where: Fort Wayne City Hall
