Excerpt
Excerpt: The Special Place/Group Quarters (SP/GQ) Topic Report provides a synthesis of the Census 2000 results, lessons learned, and recommendations available on the development of the SP/GQ inventory, the enumeration of group quarters, and data processing operations that were unique to the group quarters records. Specifically, the report answers questions on how effective procedures were for developing the inventory of special places, how many people were enumerated in different types of special places, how well procedures worked, and how procedures might be improved.
