Abstract:

The sample design of the household surveys is a two stage design. In the first stage, primary sampling units (PSUs) are defined, stratified, and selected. PSUs are made up of counties or groups of contiguous counties. In the second stage, address records within each PSU are sorted by geographic and demographic information and selected systematically survey-by-survey with previously selected samples removed and the sampling interval adjusted in the next survey. In this paper, we provide an overview of the sample design for the household surveys. We also highlight research and results on major methodological changes for the 2010 sample design, including the frequency of sampling, and the use of data from the American Community Survey and administrative records in sampling.
