In reference to the long form blues, I thought some of you might be
interested in this USA Today article.

an all time low response rate.

Did anyone ever figure out from the '90 Census the
difference in
non-response rates between short-form and
long-form households? I'm getting
an earful from friends and relatives right now who got
the long form. I'm
starting to understand better the rationale for getting
away from the long
form toward the ACS (if in fact this was part of the
rationale).
