We use a 2010 Census ethnographic evaluation with a record check to identify possible differences among race/ethnic groups in factors affecting enumeration methods and inconsistencies across data sources. This controlled comparison evaluation was done in eight sites targeted to the major race/ethnic groups-American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander. Asian, African American, non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, and a general site-in personal-visit 2010 Census Nonresponse Followup and Update Enumerate Operations.
