Mike Nelson asks how many undocumented immigrants are counted in the census. I do not have an overall answer. But I can tell you that the range of academic estimates that I reviewed in 2001, anticipating the release of the 2000 count, was that Latinos are undercounted by anywhere from 4 to 50 percent. If that is applied to the Minnepaolis Latino population as recorded by the 2000 census, that would add anywhere from 1,200 to 14,000 residents.
