The Master Address File (MAF) Coverage Study (MAFCS) is one component of the 2020 Census address canvassing operation. The intent of the program is to produce coverage estimates of the MAF, provide continuous updates to the MAF, evaluate in-office address canvassing updates, evaluate in-field address canvassing targeting strategies, and test new in-field address canvassing procedures. This paper discusses an overview of the survey including the objectives, sample design, and the analysis plan for the data collected. Approximately 20,000 blocks per year will be selected for canvass, beginning in 2016 through 2019. Field listers will canvass assigned blocks collecting address data for every place people might live or stay. The initial MAFCS uses a stratified sample based on geography and size of a block. Future sample designs will incorporate information from the in-office address canvassing operations as well. Key estimates include the numbers of added, deleted and verified addresses for the nation and for several domains of interest.
