Praveen,

To what extent are people with two or more residences counted?  For example if a person has a residence in Michigan and Florida, where is that person counted?  In Michigan or in Florida?

Thanks.

Hello John,

We follow the Census Bureau's definition.  A person will be counted at their "usual place of residence" on Census day (April 1).

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks, Catherine
