The Indianapolis Complete Count Committee says 19 percent of forms distributed in the city have been returned since they
went out last week. Only Baltimore, with 20 percent, had a higher rate of return among the top 25 U.S. cities.
The committee is trying to prevent undercounting by the Census Bureau in the city. According to a Pricewaterhouse Coopers
report, Indiana was undercounted by 47,000 residents in 2000, costing the state $227 million in federal funds for which it
qualified.
