In N.J., 2010 U.S. Census over-counts by 31,000 people

You may have 31,000 fewer neighbors than what was counted in the 2010 Census.

The U.S. Census Bureau today released results of a survey designed to check the accuracy of the last decennial survey. The report shows a slight net over-count of New Jersey residents, roughly a third of a percentage point of all people counted here in 2010.

The error is so slight in a state of more than 8 million that officials say it’s not statistically different than saying there was no error at all.  (Sagara, The Star-Ledger)
