Abstract:
|
The coverage of many Address Based Sampling Frames has been well documented; however, much less attention has been paid to the mechanisms generating coverage errors. A clearer understanding of the mechanisms generating undercoverage can help us more effectively target areas needing improvement or listing. To investigate correlates of Housing Unit undercoverage on Address Based Sampling Frames, we used preliminary results of the US Census Bureau's Address canvassing operation to assess the coverage of an Address Based Sampling Frame. We then explored the relationship between various block characteristics to the Housing Unit undercoverage rate. Our results provide insight into the distribution of omissions on an Address Based Sampling Frame.
