During the period from April 1984 through July 1985, the Bureau of the Census systematically introduced a new sample design for the Current Population Survey based on the results of the 1980 decennial census. Due to the phase-in of the new design, the May 1985 CPS sample had two rotation groups in the 629 sample areas of the old design comprising 1,148 counties, independent cities and minor civil divisions, and six rotation groups located in the 729 sample areas of the new design comprising 1,973 counties and equivalent geographic areas in the United States.
