Title: Using Administrative Records to Reduce Census Nonresponse Followup Operations
Author(s): Vincent Mule*+ and Andrew Keller
Companies: U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Census Bureau
Keywords: Census ; Administrative Records
Abstract:

The Bureau is examining ways to reduce the costs of the 2020 Census while maintaining a high quality census. One of the largest contributors to the 2010 Census cost was when enumerators had to be sent to interview and resolve housing units that did not return a mail questionnaire in the Nonresponse Followup operation. One area of research has been attempting to utilize administrative record information from various federal and other sources to reduce the number of interviews to be done for the Nonresponse Followup operation. This paper will present an overview of the current research being conducted and some initial research results of possible administrative records usages.
