D-473A(L) (5-SO) / ~PARTMENT UNITED STATES Bureau of the Census Regional Office Kansas City, Kansas 66101 OF COMMERCE Dear Local Official: The 1980 Census of Population and Housing data collection phase is now nearing completion. The purpose of this letter is to transmit unofficial 1980 census housing and population counts which will enable you to par- ticipate in the Local Review Program, as announced and described in materials previously sent to you. These counts are not final and have been tabulated solely for review purposes. Enclosed is a computer listing showing these counts for the legal bound- aries of your jurisdiction which existed on January 1, 1978, or for those areas which were enumerated by the door-to-door conventional method, January 1, 1979. The final census counts will be for areas as legally defined as of January 1, 1980. If you choose to review the enclosed counts, please inform the cnesus representative of any possible problems within 10 working days of receipt of this letter. We are asking that you respond within the 10 days because our time is limited and we are obligated to provide final census counts to the President by January 1, 1981, and must complete the census taking operations in time to be able to meet this date and to provide sufficient time to resolve the problems which you may raise. The Census Bureau is allowing about 4 weeks to resolve these prob- lems and a total of about 45 calendar days is, therefore, available for the entire lo6al review process. If you have reported problems within the 2 weeks allowed, and then discover additional serious problems, they will be checked to the extent possible. The name, address, and the phone number of the census representative to whom these problems should be addressed are shown in the enclosure. Census maps of your jurisdiction were sent to you in April/May. The enumeration ~istricts (ED's) shown on the maps correspond, for the most part, to the ED's shown on the enclosed listing. However, there may be a few ED's on the listings that are not shown on the maps because correc- tions have been made since the maps were prepared. Your census repre- sentative will be able to assist you when problems occur.
