With all due respect, the number of the surveys returned is probably 5-10 times higher than necessary to get a completely reliable statistical sample.
Add the mountain of other information, such as utility records, postal records, rec center and golf course ID card scans, rental records, ID surrender files, newspaper subscriptions etc., etc,.
What you get is a number of full vs part-timers that is easily within 1% of the EXACT, ACTUAL number, for any recent year. That's what The Developer KNOWS. I'd bet my socks he's anxiously waiting to see if this year's figures show an increase in full-timers.
