**CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY**
Census Bureau to Brief Reporters on
Local Census 2000 Supplementary Survey Results
What: The Census Bureau's Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia City, Pa., 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.
