Book excerpt: Excerpt from Programs to Improve Coverage in the 1980 Census: 1980 Census of Population and Housing This report presents the results of an evaluation of the 1980 Census Coverage Improvement Programs. In discussing these programs, it is important to review certain aspects of the development of the mailout/maii - back census taking pro cedure that was employed in 1970 and 1980. In the censuses preceding the development of the mail census, a single straight-forward census-taking meth odology was used. An enumerator was given a map of an assignment area and a listing register. The enumerator was ln structed to list and enumerate the area on the map. This procedure underwent some quality control reviews, but the total effect that these reviews had on the quality of the resulting census is unknown. In 1970, about 60 percent of the population was enumerated under the mail census pro cedure. This operation was so successful that in 1980 the mail census was ex pended to cover approximately 95 percent of the population.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the results of the Census Bureau's 1980 post-census improvement programs, which helped reduce errors in census counts. GAO found that the Bureau: (1) used 14 coverage improvement programs for the 1980 census, three of which involved address list operations performed before the census; (2) conducted 11 post-census programs, including a comparison of persons counted in the census to those included on records independent of the census; (3) spent $73 million on the programs, which resulted in an increased population count of about 2.6 million persons and the assignment of 1 million persons to different geographic locations; (4) decided to delete the Nonhousehold Sources Program from the 1990 census because of its low coverage and high costs; and (5) determined that the programs also resulted in double counting 218,000 persons.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO compared costs of the Census Bureau's 1980 and 1990 census coverage improvement programs to identify potential areas of budget savings. GAO found that the Bureau: (1) spent about $101 million in 1980 on 14 coverage improvement programs; (2) estimated that it would spend about $175 million on 13 coverage improvement programs, ranging in cost from about $500,000 to $69 million, for the 1990 census; and (3) attributed the 21-percent real increase over 1980 costs to an increased work load and its planned use of additional or revised procedures which should improve coverage. GAO also found that coverage improvement programs involve: (1) U.S. Postal Service identification and verification of addresses on the Bureau's mailing lists as deliverable, undeliverable, or duplicate; (2) pre-canvas operations, under which census enumerators walk through areas to verify the accuracy of commercial vendor address lists; (3) local governments' identification of shelters, hotels, and other locations where homeless persons reside; (4) editing of questionnaires to improve data quality and to reduce item nonresponse; (5) local government review of preliminary census counts; (6) a telephone questionnaire assistance program; (7) a Spanish questionnaire; (8) a records check procedure for reducing the disproportionate undercount of minorities, parolees, and probationers; (9) the prevention of double counting of households temporarily away from their usual residence on Census Day; and (10) public service advertisements to encourage persons who believe that they are not counted to complete a questionnaire.
