2010 Census: Bureau Needs to Specify How It Will Assess Coverage Follow-up Techniques and When It Will Produce Coverage Measurement Results
An accurate decennial census relies on finding and counting
people--only once--in the right place and collecting complete and
correct information. GAO reviewed the Department of Commerce's
U.S. Census Bureau's (Bureau) plans to (1) improve the census's
accuracy--or coverage--with its coverage follow-up operation, (2)
assess the accuracy of the census through its census coverage
measurement program, and (3) evaluate these efforts after 2010.
GAO reviewed documentation and interviewed Bureau officials about
the Bureau's coverage follow-up and measurement plans. GAO
compared plans for measuring coverage in 2000 and 2010 and
interviewed 15 experts about changes to the plans.
