Abstract:
|
A primary goal of the 2010 Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign is to consider switching to using a housing unit sampling frame based on the Master Address File (MAF) for current demographic household surveys if the frame provides an acceptable level of coverage. To measure coverage for a MAF-based frame, we selected a nationally representative sample of census blocks and sent them for field listing. By comparing the addresses collected during listing to the MAF addresses, we produce estimates of coverage at the national and regional levels. We also analyze selected subclasses, such as addresses in rural blocks, to identify strengths and weaknesses in the coverage provided by a MAF-based sampling frame.
