Abstract:
|
This study uses administrative records to study person duplication in the census. For previous projects, Census Bureau staff computer-linked person records on the Hundred Percent Census Unedited File (HCUF) to records on an administrative records file, the Census Numident. Two HCUF records that are linked with one Numident record are evidence that a person is duplicated in the HCUF. We compare the results of this match with results from another duplication study, Further Study of Census Duplication (FSPD). We also use results from a clerical review of a sample of links from the HCUF to Census Numident match, and of FSPD links. We address these questions: ow well were the FSPD results confirmed by the HCUF to Census Numident match results? What is the potential for future uses of administrative records in duplication research and unduplication efforts? Our results include the following: Administrative records generally confirmed the FSPD processes; administrative records can be a valuable tool for confirming and disconfirming potential duplicates; and that administrative records can be useful for identifying duplicates missed by other processes.
