I don't believe that is entirely correct. It is understood that it will
be impossible to count everyone, and therefor certain statistical
"refinements" are made to the actual count.

Not when the purpose of the count is to assign seats in Congress to the
various States.

These adjustments use
different formulas for different areas/neighborhoods, depending on how
accurate the actual count is expected to be in a given community.

And are used for a purpose other than assigning seats in Congress.
