title: The overcount in censuses of population.
abstract: "Coverage checks of censuses of population usually show an undercount.  However, in [the] 1953 census of population in Yugoslavia a slight overcount was found.  This was attributed to housing rationing that created a tendency [to over report].... Similar tendencies are also likely in the enumeration of emigrants.  Therefore, more attention is needed to the problem of overcount in countries with housing rationing and strong emigration." (SUMMARY IN GER)
