Census 2000 Supplementary Survey |
Data collection for the Census 2000 Supplementary Survey began in November 1999 in 1,203 counties and ran through December 2000. Residents at approximately 58,000 addresses were contacted each month. Although the survey was conducted in only 1,203 counties, it is important to note that this size sample is sufficient to produce data for every state in the Nation, as well as for counties and most metropolitan areas of 250,000 in population or more. |
