Re: [CTPP] Census 2010 - student count ?

I was wondering if you knew that the Census counts dormitory population as Group Quarters, the same as prison population, army barracks, manors and so forth..

It may be that all the dorms got geocoded to the University's residence hall office. Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Extremely annoying!

And there are only 3 houses on the campus area based on the census block result, I know: 1 president's house, 1 chapel , and... don't know the 3rd but there are 25 dorms not counted. And the house location is not right, or a block with population data but no house... as my boss said, a lot of people live at MSU tunnel. If attachment is not allowed: zip code 48825, MSU campus area on census 2010, total block population: 10688, number of houses:3 .. and based on campus data students live on campus (residence hall) is about 15000 (the nation's largest single-campus residence hall system !) Any comments ?
