Hary – do you think that the Census Bureau put the 25 dormitories  in the wrong location?  Did you look at nearby blocks and block groups?

Subject: [CTPP] Census 2010 - student count ?

I have not checked other campus area population counted by census 2010 but this number is very large (and hope not double counted by their parents), 10,688.

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 ?
