As discussed in the Contemporary Geographic Tools box in your textbook on page 65, the current method of counting a country's population by requiring every household to complete a census form once every 10 years has been severely criticized as inaccurate. The census allegedly fails to count people who cannot read the form or who do not wish to be found. This undercounting produces a geographic bias, because people who are missed are more likely to live in inner cities, remote rural areas, or communities that attract a relatively high number of recent immigrants. Given the availability of reliable statistical tests, should the current method of trying to count 100 percent of the population be replaced by a survey or a carefully drawn sample of the population, as is done with political polling and consumer preferences? Why or why not?
