Abstract:

This paper presents the integrated results from an interdivisional research effort to improve count, status, vacancy, and item hot-deck imputation in the decennial census. It includes results from the research conducted on various methods, including the use of administrative records assignment and spatial modeling. It also discusses an approach to optimize the strengths of the different methods by developing hybrid methods. It discusses how we determined overall statistical, operational, and policy implications. Operational issues are examined with our conclusions. We also discuss policy implications and how we have approached them. Finally, we provide an overview for the next steps in this research, including pending decision points.
