Title: Analysis of the Sources of Group Quarters Enumeration Data in the 2010 Census
Author(s): Asaph Chun*+ and Jessica Gan
Companies: U.S. Census Bureau and Rice University
Keywords: administrative data ; census ; enumeration ; group quarters
Abstract:

Group Quarters (GQ) enumeration in the U.S. Census involves collecting demographic data from such places as correctional facilities, skilled nursing facilities, college residence halls and military barracks. They include harder-to-access populations who live or stay in a group setting but are not usually related to each other. We analyzed the results of the 2010 Census to investigate the extent to which in-facility administrative records were possibly used for enumeration by major types of GQ. We discuss findings relative to merits and limitations of using administrative records for GQ enumeration in the Census.
