Abstract:
|
It is possible for a housing unit to be selected for both the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). If interviews are scheduled within four months of each other, the ACS survey date is shifted to allow at least four months between the first ACS mailout and the first attempted CPS interview. Because these are time-intensive surveys, households receiving both surveys may exhibit increased nonresponse for the second survey administered, with higher nonresponse the closer in time the surveys are administered.
This analysis includes data from 2005 through 2011. For CPS households receiving the ACS first, response rates for various interview types are analyzed and presented graphically and numerically. These results are used to assess the current date shifting strategy for coordinating the CPS and the ACS.
