HOMELESS TALLY DISPUTE DELAYS CENSUS FIGURES

The Census Bureau is holding up release of detailed population data it gathered in the 1990 census while it negotiates with advocacy groups over the agency's count of the homeless.

The advocates for the homeless, arguing that the bureau missed substantial segments of the homeless population in its count last year, have threatened legal action unless the bureau issues a disclaimer noting the inaccuracy of the numbers. - The Washington Post
