Several recent newspaper articles have suggested that the design of the Census 2000 questionnaire affected Hispanics' reports of membership in specific Hispanic groups. Scott (2001) and the Los Angeles Times (2001) suggest that dropping the examples that appeared in the 1990 Hispanic origin question resulted in less complete identification of Salvadorans and Guatemalans in Los Angeles County, and of Dominicans, Colombians, and Ecuadorians in New York City, in Census 2000. (The 1990 and 2000 questions are shown in figures 1 and 2.)
