Census-to-Census Observations ...

Introduction ...

When the Census Bureau takes a census count (or enumeration) for Lakeside, they start by specifying the boundaries of the area to be counted. This area (or sampling area) is a polygon and its shape can be quite complex - it may or may not match the geographical boundaries of Lakeside. It's important to note that from one Census to the next, the shape and location of the polygon can change.
