2010 Census: Redesigned Approach Holds Promise, but Census Bureau Needs to Annually Develop and Provide a Comprehensive Project Plan to Monitor Costs
The U.S. Census Bureau (Bureau) estimates that the 2010 Census
will cost over $11.3 billion, making it the most expensive in our
history. The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate
appropriation bills propose to reduce the Bureau's fiscal year
2007 budget request, raising questions about the Bureau's design
of the 2010 Census and associated costs. Based on issued GAO
work, this testimony addresses the extent to which the Bureau has
(1) made progress redesigning its approach, including nonresponse
follow-up, a key cost driver; and (2) developed a comprehensive
project plan for the 2010 Census, as well as timely, detailed
cost data for effective oversight and cost control.
