Abstract:

Urban Update/Leave and Update/Enumerate are two special enumeration procedures utilized in Census 2000. In Urban Update/Leave, enumerators delivered the census questionnaires and updated their address register and census maps concurrently. Respondents returned their completed census questionnaires by mail. In Update/Enumerate, enumerators updated their address registers and maps and enumerated the housing unit at the time of their visit. This paper gives a quantitative overview of these two operations and their ability to improve the address list.
