Abstract:
|
The 2010 Census Coverage Measurement (CCM) program measured the coverage of the 2010 Census enumeration of persons and housing units. The CCM independently listed housing units and persons in a sample of geographies. Census and CCM listings were compared and field operations were conducted to resolve differences. The Final Housing Unit Followup (FHUFU) was the last of the CCM field operations; it primarily processed late changes to the Census inventory of housing units. The research described in this paper assessed what the impact would be of not conducting the FHUFU field operation on the 2010 CCM estimates of housing unit coverage. It informs a decision whether to remove the FHUFU from the 2020 Coverage Measurement program. In the study, housing units which went to FHUFU for resolution were assigned unresolved match and housing unit statuses. These unresolved match and housing unit statuses were then imputed to simulate what would have happened if FHUFU had not been conducted. The modified data with the imputations were used to generate alternative estimates. The alternative estimates were compared to the 2010 Census coverage estimates to assess the impact of removing the FHUFU.
