Evelyn Mann. a demographer - with New York City for the past 30 years - and director of the population division of n the department of city planning in New e York City. has offered some conservative - estimates of the undercount in New York n City in an affidavit for the joint lawsuit y by New York State and New York City r against the Bureau of the Census. The minimum undercount. according to her calculations. is about 800.000 people. She categorizes them this way: Undocumented aliens (581.000). blacks of nonHispanic origin (131.0.00) adult male members of public assistance households (116.000). Hispanics including blacks of Hispanic origin (116.000). persons engaged In illegal activity (100.000). whites (84.000). and selected groups within the Asian and Pacific Islander population (15.500). Mrs. Manns figure of 800..000 people not only uses an extremely conservative estimate of undocumented aliens in New York City. but also excludes the potential undercount for unreported children. the aged. homeless people. and people with language difficulties other than those included in the groups above. In its case against the Bureau of the Census. New York City has raised very serious charges of mismanagement against the Bureau.
