Abstract:

The basis for planning the 2010 Census largely evolved from what we learned in Census 2000. After the completion of Census 2000, the Census Bureau released reports on 87 evaluations, six experiments, and numerous operational assessments. The results and recommendations included in these reports support other information being used to plan and implement national content tests in 2003 and 2005 and operational site tests in 2004 and 2006. There are 11 2010 Research and Development Planning Groups reviewing results and recommendations and using them to develop new and improved methods covering the following areas: American Indian and Alaska Native, Communications, Content, Coverage, Field Activities, Language Program, Overseas Enumeration, Race and Ethnicity, Self-response, Special Place/Group Quarters, and Systems and Software. This paper discusses plans for the 2010 Census tests and how the Census 2000 evaluation and experiment results are used to identify the objectives for 2010 Census research and development.
