                  **CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY**

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

What:   The Census Bureau's Los Angeles 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 San Diego, Calif., 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. PST

Who:    Ralph J. Lee, Los Angeles regional director
        Robert Kominski, assistant division chief,
        Social & Demographic Statistics Branch, U.S. Census Bureau
