Book excerpt: Reviews the status of key activities that the Census Bureau plans to test as part of its dress rehearsal for the 2000 Census. In concept, the 1998 dress rehearsal for the 2000 Census should test almost all of the various operations and procedures planned for the decennial census under as close to census-like conditions as possible. This report reviews the results to date of the Bureau's efforts to create a complete and accurate address list; increase the mail response rate through outreach and promotion; staff its operations with an adequate workforce; and reduce costs and improve accuracy through sampling and statistical estimation methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the funding of 2000 Census planning and development efforts and the impact it had on census operations. Total funding for the 2000 Census, referred to as the life cycle cost, covers a 13-year period from fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year 2003 and is expected to total $6.5 billion adjusted to 2000 year dollars. This amount was almost double the reported life cycle cost of the 1990 Census of $3.3 billion adjusted to 2000 year dollars. Considering these escalating costs, the experience of the U.S. Census Bureau in preparing for the 2000 Census offers valuable insights for the planning and development efforts now occurring for the 2010 Census. Thorough and comprehensive planning and development efforts are crucial to the ultimate efficiency and success of any large, long-term project, particularly one with the scope, magnitude, and the deadlines of the U.S. decennial census. For fiscal years 1991 through 1997, $269 million was requested in the President's Budgets for 2000 Census planning and development and the program received funding of $224 million by Congress, or 83 percent of the amount requested. According to U.S. Census Bureau records, the bulk of the $86 million in funding received through the end of fiscal year 1995 was obligated for program development and evaluation methodologies, testing and dress rehearsals, and planning for the acquisition of automated data processing and telecommunications support. The U.S. Census Bureau was responsible for carrying out its mission within the budget provided and bureau management determined the specific areas in which available resources were invested. GAO could not determine what effect, if any, that higher funding levels might have had on bureau operations as this is dependent upon actual implementation and the results of management decisions that may or may not have occurred. According to bureau officials, early planning and development efforts for the 2000 Census were adversely affected by lower funding than requested for fiscal years 1993 through 1997. They identified 10 areas where additional funding could have been beneficial. These included difficulties in retaining knowledgeable staff, scaled back plans for testing and evaluating 1990 Census data, delays in implementing a planning database, and limited resources to update address databases. The bureau's experience in preparing for the 2000 Census underscores the importance of solid, upfront planning and adequate funding levels to carry out those plans.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Census Bureau is preparing to conduct the 2000 decennial census, an event that will significantly influence the lives of every U.S. resident and constitutes the largest peacetime mobilization event in our nation's history In particular, Census will be staffing 1.35 million temporary field positions to capture 1.5 billion pages of data from about 119 million households. To meet this important and massive challenge, the bureau plans to rely extensively on information technology, including its new Data Capture System (DCS) 2000. DCS 2000 is to be operated at four bureau data capture centers to check in, digitally image, and optically read the data handwritten onto census forms and convert these data into files that will be transmitted to bureau headquarters for tabulation and analysis. At your request, we determined the status and quality of DCS 2000 as well as the risks the bureau faces in successfully completing the system. This report summarizes the information presented at our December 14,1999, briefing to your office. A copy of our briefing is provided in appendix I.
