Abstract:
|
There has been much interest in the possible use of address-based lists from information resellers (IRs) as a potential frame for household surveys. In this study, we matched the InfoUSA file to the Census Bureau's Master Address File (MAF) for all 50 States and the District of Columbia. We use this matching to compare the coverage and content qualities of the InfoUSA file to the MAF. Additionally, we compared the InfoUSA file to a nationally representative sample of housing unit field enumerations.
