    The U.S. Census Bureau is improving its post-enumeration survey methods to enhance the accuracy of the 1990 Decennial Census coverage measurement. New procedures and evaluation techniques were tested to ensure reliable results.

    Area of Science:

    • Demographic research
    • Survey methodology
    • Statistical analysis

    Background:

    • Accurate census coverage is crucial for fair representation and resource allocation.
    • The U.S. Census Bureau historically uses post-enumeration surveys (PES) to assess census completeness.
    • Previous PES methods faced challenges in achieving desired accuracy levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate novel procedures for the 1990 Decennial Census post-enumeration survey.
    • To enhance the overall accuracy and reliability of census coverage measurement.
    • To detail error categories and evaluation techniques for PES.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and testing of new survey procedures for the 1990 Decennial Census PES.
    • Analysis of error types inherent in post-enumeration surveys.
