2010 Census: Costs and Risks Must be Closely Monitored and Evaluated with Mitigation Plans in Place
The decennial census is a constitutionally mandated activity,
with immutable deadlines. It produces data used to allocate about
$200 billion yearly in federal financial assistance, reapportion
the seats of the House of Representatives, and provide a profile
of the nation's people to help guide policy decisions. The U.S.
Census Bureau (Bureau) estimates the 2010 Census will cost $11.3
billion, making it the most expensive census in the nation's
history, even after adjusting for inflation. Based primarily on
GAO's issued reports, this testimony addresses the extent to
which the Bureau has (1) developed detailed and timely cost data
for effective oversight and cost control, (2) reduced nonresponse
mail follow up costs, and (3) produced risk mitigation plans to
address identified challenges.
