Abstract:
|
The previous papers presented in this session discuss the creation and evaluation of an Administrative Records System and its comparison with counts from the 2000 decennial census. This paper describes the use the AREX 2000 bottom-up (BARCUF) data file, Census 2000, and the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation Survey (ACE) to create block-level triple systems population estimates within the five AREX 2000 counties. We outline the record linkage procedures used to create the three-way cross-classification tables required for triple systems modeling. We then present a statistical approach to the resulting data in which the AREX 2000 and Census 2000 results are considered the primary population lists available for all blocks, and the ACE results are treated as an auxiliary random sample of blocks from a third population list.
