This meeting looks very interesting. On the census, we'd particularly like to know: How stf tables compare with 1990. Is there a list of tables that will be released with each STF? Will we get race breakdowns, including the same 4+Hispanic race breakdowns? Will there be any new variables added or old ones dropped? Should we expect there to be a MARS-equivalent adjustment in later years? Here's a question for OFM and DSHS, if they will be in attendance: Will population estimates for intercensal years be adjusted to reflect 2000 census totals?
