Abstract:

The U.S. Census Bureau is researching ways to include all U.S. citizens living abroad in the decennial census counts. Administrative counts were used in the 1990 and 2000 censuses to enumerate military and civilian federal employees and their dependents living overseas. To develop a methodology and to determine the feasibility, quality, and cost of collecting data from U.S. citizens living overseas, the Census Bureau will conduct an Overseas Enumeration operation in three test countries--France, Kuwait, and Mexico--as part of the 2004 Census Test. During this operation, Americans living in the selected countries will have the opportunity to provide information by mail or internet for inclusion in the census test counts. This paper presents the inherent challenges in, implementation methodology with preliminary results from, and plans for further assessment of the enumeration of U.S. citizens living overseas during the 2004 Census Test.
