Although the Bureau goes to great lengths to locate these individuals, its efforts are often hampered by the unconventional and hidden housing arrangements, distrust of outsiders, and language and literacy issues often associated with this population group. To help inform the planning for the 2010 Census, we were asked to review the adequacy of the Bureau's procedures for locating migrant farm workers and their dwellings during the 2000 Census, and the steps, if any, that the Bureau can take to improve those procedures. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-605/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-605.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-605/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-605.pdf GAO-03-605 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-605 Other Written Product GAO-03-605; Decennial Census: Lessons Learned for Locating and Counting Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers; Migrant or seasonal worker programs Data collection Data integrity Internal controls Strategic planning Census Census Bureau Master Address File 2000 Decennial Census 2010 Decennial Census
