When the intercensal estimates for the seventies were evaluated in the light of the 1980 Census, it turned out that they had become progressively more severe underestimates as the decade progressed. The FBI is only able to adjust the VCR retrospectively after a decennial Census to correct for the errors in the intercensal estimates it has used. There is a substantial effect on the VCR change measures in the year immediately following the decennial census as the VCR population figures successively 36 2.
