Among the reasons why people are not counted is a lack of appreciation of the importance of the census. Also. some people do not want to be counted. Housing code violators. illegal aliens. welfare code violators. for example. feel that they will be reported to other Government agencies if they allow themselves to be known to the Census Bureau. This concern is a myth because there has never been a case reported of a Bureau violation of its confidentiality code. But to make sure the myth is dispelled. plans for the 1980 census have been predicated on reassuring the American public of confidentiality and on educating the American public to the importance of being counted.
