Abstract:
|
One of the goals of the 2010 Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign is to consider using the continually updated Master Address File as the primary source to develop the sampling frames for current demographic household surveys. To support this goal, the Census Bureau conducted several coverage evaluations and found that coverage differences existed between the current frames and the MAF-based frame. This paper investigates how Current Population Survey estimates are impacted if current permit frame and area frame sample units not found on the MAF-based frame are excluded.
