Abstract:
|
In past censuses, we have had no way to evaluate the A.C.E. coverage coding of people duplicated outside the post-enumeration survey's search area. After Census 2000, the Census Bureau computer matched a sample of people in the census, the E sample, to the entire census. This allowed us to evaluate the A.C.E. coding of people duplicated outside the search area. A person found duplicated was captured twice by the census. The record of the person that was captured in the correct place according to census residence rules should have been coded as a correct enumeration. The record of the person that was captured in an incorrect place according to census residence rules should have been coded as an erroneous enumeration. This analysis looks at how the A.C.E. coded E-Sample people duplicated to people outside the A.C.E. search area.
