Concerns Raised Over Accuracy Of Census Data

Following yesterday’s release of the census data for 2011, a lot of interesting conclusions have been drawn. But there are also some concerns that have been raised regarding the accuracy of the data presented.

Census Data 2011: The New Numbers

I’d rather not be counted.
