ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: A
Although they may offer temporary employment to some community residents and ideally all residents are counted, the value of the Census Bureau data is in clarifying the distribution of age, sex, race, and ethnicity of the community, which may also suggest health needs. The Census Bureau does not collect data on mortality and morbidity.
