Abstract:
|
Group Quarters (GQs) are one of several types of living arrangements sampled in demographic surveys. They include college dormitories, group homes, and religious quarters. For first-stage sampling, individuals that reside in GQs are converted into Housing Unit Equivalents within a block to ensure that a unit of sample selected in a GQ corresponds to an average household (which in 2000 was 2.59 individuals). First-stage sampling is done at the PSU (groups of counties) level. Several demographic surveys are undergoing redesign to address new and continuing data needs. For this redesign, research was conducted to determine whether bed-level sampling should replace measure-level sampling by examining whether bed-level sampling would decrease the level of clustering within the sample while avoiding a significant increase in advance listing procedures in the field.
