Abstract:
|
The 2010 Census Coverage Measurement Program (CCM) will evaluate the coverage of the 2010 U.S. Census. New technologies and methods are being incorporated into the 2010 CCM to address the failure by the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation Survey for Census 2000 to identify substantial numbers of enumeration errors, particularly duplicate census enumerations. Also, the 2010 CCM will provide estimates of components of coverage error (erroneous enumerations and omissions) separately in addition to estimates of net coverage. As the new methods add operational complexities, they particularly need to be evaluated to assure their effectiveness on the large scale of a census environment. The 2010 Census and CCM also provide opportunities for investigating new ways to improve census coverage measurement methodology. This paper contains an overview of the 2010 CCM Evaluation studies.
