Abstract:

Evaluations of the Accuracy Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.) of the U. S. Census 2000 uncovered several problems leading the Census Bureau to decide to use unadjusted population counts instead of ones incorporating the A.C.E. results. This paper reviews the evaluation results, the design problems encountered, and our plans to produce revised estimates of Census 2000 coverage for purposes of potentially adjusting intercensal population estimates. This work on revising the A.C.E. estimates will lead to a coverage research agenda for the 2010 census. We will use results from this research to design a coverage measurement program in 2010. Additionally, we will explore using traditional coverage measurement techniques to improve census coverage quality while processing is underway.
