Abstract:

The American Community Survey is designed to replace the census 2010 long form. The survey has been conducted in several counties across the country for several years. This research explores the measurement of population, social, economic, and housing data at the county and census-tract level for the American Community Survey sites in California: San Francisco and Tulare counties. Population and housing attributes from the 2000 decennial census long form are compared to individual and three-year pooled data from the American Community Survey to assess the differences and accuracy of the two measurements. In addition to the census and survey data, several data quality measures are reviewed. These measures include standard errors, self-response rates, sample unit nonresponse rates, and sample completeness ratios, as well as total, self-response, and interviewer-response population and housing item allocation rates. Additionally, several characteristics, such as nativity and citizenship are compared at the census-tract level.
