However, it usually excluded private citizens residing abroad. In July 2004, the Bureau completed a test of the practicality of counting all overseas Americans. GAO was asked to assess (1) whether the Bureau implemented the test consistent with its design, and (2) the lessons learned from the test results. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-898/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-898.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-898/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-898.pdf GAO-04-898 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-898 Other Written Product GAO-04-898; 2010 Census: Counting Americans Overseas as Part of the Decennial Census Would Not Be Cost-Effective; Americans abroad Census Cost effectiveness analysis Data collection Public relations Statistical methods Surveys Testing Comparative analysis 2010 Decennial Census France Kuwait Mexico 2000 Decennial Census
