Title: Examining Blocks with Lister Error in Area Listing
Author(s): Aliza Kwiat*+
Companies: U.S. Census Bureau
Address: , , ,
Keywords: area listing ; error
Abstract:

Area listing is usually considered to have the best quality among available methods of developing survey frames. However, there has been very little research done to investigate the errors of area listing. This paper will look into the results when two different field representatives canvass the same sample of blocks. How consistent are their results? Are some blocks or types of housing units harder to list than others? What characteristics are more likely to produce inconsistent listing results?
