Abstract:
|
This paper examines census captures as measured by the Census 2000 Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation. The premise of the research is that an accurate census person enumeration usually requires three successful census collections: the housing unit, a household population roster, and individual listing; and that a census non-capture can be understood as coming from a failure at one of these steps. A logistic model is developed to measure the three phases of capture, and some population groups known to show high non-capture rates are examined to understand which collection phase(s) are most important in causing the high rate.
