All too often, some issue or another develops over census data in articles. Back in 2002, a bot populated a large swath of community articles with 2000 Census data. Unfortunately, many Wikipedia editors have desperately clung on to this now-15-year-old information without caring to realize that we're reflecting one particular census, and many communities have been enumerated for much longer than that.
