Abstract
It is noted that surveys are increasingly being used to: (1) complement census data in the allocation of federal and state monies to local governments for long- and short-term program commitments; (2) assist in articulating need assessments for Request for Proposals (RFPs) in these program areas; (3) as tools in the evaluation of such programs; and (4) in the planning and evaluation of municipal services. It is also noted that surveys are generally more inaccurate for ethnic minorities than they are for the majority. As a consequence, minorities are less likely to receive the benefits, or voice, to which they are entitled by law. Guidelines for improving the accuracy of surveys which include minorities are provided.
