Bureau of the Census, dated July 25, 1980 , <br /> which states: ' <br /> "City staff has compared our records with the pre- <br /> liminary census report issued to us on July 21, 1980 . <br /> We find no statistically significant difference in our <br /> total count of housing units, but do see a difference <br /> by enumeration district. This probably occurs because <br /> of the rural nature of the City which makes block by <br /> block counting difficult. <br /> "We do take exception to the high vacancy rate shown <br /> and the resulting decrease in population estimates. <br /> With the exception of 65 seasonal cabins on Big Island, <br /> and a scattered handful of seasonal units elsewhere, <br /> we expect that mQst "vacancies" are in fact normally <br /> occupied homes with persons temporarily away on vacation. <br /> We hope this can be reviewed and resolved satisfactorily.
