Summarize Argument
The author concludes that next year’s census will show that the population of Weston has declined in the last ten years. She supports this with a survey which found that twice as many households moved out of the city as moved in over the last ten years.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that the address change data from post offices and driver's license bureaus reliably shows the movement of all people in and out of Weston.
She also overlooks the fact that the survey tracks households, while the census counts individual people. She assumes that fewer people live in the city just because there are fewer households, but it's possible that small households left the city and large ones moved in.
