"Just one among scores of foreclosed/bank owned houses I saw in a Latino community at North Las Vegas."

It's a foreclosed world out there. From the AP:

The Census Bureau director says foreclosures will make it tougher and more expensive for census workers to get an accurate count of families next year.

Director Robert Groves said Tuesday in Los Angeles that he expects some questionnaires will land at empty homes in areas hard hit by the housing crisis. That means workers will need to make more door-to-door visits, which costs more money.

Groves says 2010 census workers will look for the newly homeless and people doubling up with relatives.
