[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Urban areas are notoriously undercounted in the census, as a result of transient populations (college/grad students), vulnerable and marginalized ppls (unhoused families, housing insecure folks, undocumented people, etc). [/quote] The census numbers count college students where they live for most of the year- costs for roads and infrastructure etc. But their legal address is usually the parents home which could be in another locality. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/01/student-housing-off-campus-with-parents-college-students-count-2020-census.html 2010 census has 24087 college students in group quarters in DC. Then there's off campus. The fact is $ flow for infrastructure should not be the same as and rep seats since vote based on their legal residence. [/quote]
