Abstract:

The Initial Housing Unit Matching and Followup operation of the Census Coverage Measurement (CCM) program consists of the following activities: computer matching, preprocessing, Before Followup Clerical Matching, Initial Housing Unit Followup, and After Followup Clerical Matching. In order to conduct Before Followup Clerical Matching and After Followup Clerical Matching, trained technicians and analysts use the Housing Unit Matching, Review, and Coding System (HU MaRCS) and the HU MaRCS Map Viewing System (MVS). This report summarizes each of the Initial Housing Unit Matching activities, including use of computer matching, the quality control program, and a high-level overview of the clerical matching process.
