Episode Details

Moderator Bob Liff and a panel of experts discuss the logistical complications of the US Census Bureau’s effort to count New Yorkers, as well as the political and economic implications of the Census count.  Given the City and State’s remarkable diversity, immigrant population, and popular suspicion of government, an unusual number of challenges exist for Census takers.  Nevertheless, the stakes are exceptionally high, since New York’s political representation and economic resources hinge on an accurate count of all its residents.  The panel debates the demographic challenges associated with the Census, as well as the politics of the count, reapportionment, and redistricting in contentious times.
