Abstract:

In Census 2000, an item imputation operation ensured that each person and housing unit on the census roster had a value for the relationship to householder, sex, age, Hispanic origin, race, and tenure 100% enumeration data items from the Census Short Form. The current study is an attempt to describe how "close" the 2000 Census Characteristic Imputation for these core demographic variables is to the "truth" as represented by data for these same items collected from the same persons in the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (ACE) Survey. Closeness of the comparison between the Census and the ACE characteristics will be measured by a percentage of agreement and disagreement.
