The article covers most of the bases required for the United States Census Bureau. Nothing really distracted me while reading and everything was pretty relevant. Everything was decently organized for the most part, although one issue I found was that while the article showed all the regions that they collected their data in, it did not touch on the different methods of collecting data. They mention giving surveys but they don't explain how the surveys are distributed. It would be useful for people reading up on the Census Bureau to know the different methods and tactics they employ in order to collect their data. Another minor thing that I found was the separation between the Computer Equipment and Handheld computers (HHC) headings. Since they are about the same general topic, they should all be under the Computer Equipment heading with a Handheld computers (HHC) subheading. Also, some of the surveys listed in the articles are missing links. The links are are available do work though. The article is neutral in tone and doesn't swing one way or the other politically. There's no bias from what I've read as I am currently typing this. The sources that the article used are also fairly unbiased. They mostly used peer reviewed articles and news articles from neutral news sources and well as information from the Census Bureau itself. Aside from the heading and subheading issue I mentioned earlier, some of the information is outdated. The Computer Equipment section's last written sentenced talks about a source from 1951 and the Organizational Structure section needs to be updated from 2013 to 2018's standards. The talk section discusses different demographics like Hispanics and Japanese as well as the internal organization of the Bureau. This article is rated C-Class and is relevant to 4 WikiProjects, mostly relating to politics, government, and economics. The article goes into more detail than how we've done it in class.

Urban Politics of Edge Cities
As with any city, Edge Cities go through phases of growth and redevelopment. Politics within Edge Cities are unique in that they typically revolve around developing them. They contribute to a "growth machine" that spreads the urbanization of the United States.[1] They can obscure smaller settlements that are also going through similar phases of redevelopment. Depending on the size of the settlements the modes of urban politics can change. "State interventions are important both conceptually and to the empirical matter of this article since the extent, timing, nature, and legacies of state interventions significantly shape the mode of urban politics in different places and in a single place over time".[2] State interventions are essential to the politics in developing edge cities. Tysons Corner, Virginia is an example that went through the process of development due to the county government's aggressive recruitment of businesses.[3] Similar methods of development can be seen and applied to other edge cities as well.
