Abstract:
|
This presentation provides basic data about the net undercount of young children in the U.S. Decennial Census and it is intended to lay the groundwork for the presentations that follow. Results of Demographic Analysis show that young children (under age 5) had a net undercount rate of 4.6 percent in the 2010 Decennial Census. This amounts to a net undercount of almost one million persons age 0-4. The net undercount rate of persons age 0-4 is higher than any other age group. Moreover the net undercount rate for young black and young Hispanic children is significantly higher than the total undercount rate for this age group. Since 1980, the net undercount rate for young children has increased steadily while that for adults has declined.
