EV92-20
Introduction
This report describes the results of an ethnographic study of the census coverage problems in a rural minority community of North Carolina. The ethnographic site is referred to as the “Little Branch” area. The sample area consists of 3 census blocks coded as 18, 53, and 54. The ethnographic study resulted in an Alternative Enumeration (AE) of the site which was systematically compared to the results of 1990 Census of the same site. Differences emerged from this comparison. This report attempts to explain how these differences came about.
