2000 Census: Actions Taken to Improve the Be Counted and
The Census Bureau has added several initiatives to improve the accuracy
and completeness of the population count in the 2000 Census. These
initiatives include the "Be Counted" program as well as walk-in
Questionnaire Assistance Centers. The Be Counted program is designed to
count people who believe that they did not receive a census
questionnaire, or who were otherwise omitted from the census. Aimed at
traditionally hard-to-enumerate population groups, the Be Counted
program is to make its forms available in various public locations, such
as community centers, churches, and businesses. Questionnaire Assistance
Centers are to help people--especially those who speak little or no
English--complete their census questionnaires by providing assistance in
several languages on a walk-in basis. The centers are also to distribute
Be Counted forms. This report provides information on the status of
these two programs, focusing on the steps that the Bureau has taken to
address shortcomings that it encountered during the dress rehearsal.
