Claiming the 2010 Census undercounted Hempstead Village, Mayor Wayne Hall vowed Tuesday to file a formal challenge.
"The numbers that we got don't add up," Hall said.
The new census counted 53,891 people in Hempstead, a 4.7 percent decrease from the original 2000 tally of 56,554. The U.S. Census Bureau recently repeated that 2000 number when it released the 2010 data.
