Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Status of Planning for the 2000 Census and the 1995 Census Test: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Census, Statistics, and Postal Personnel of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, September 27, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 2:20 p.m., in room 311, Cannon House Office Building, Hon. Thomas C.Sawyer (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Members present: Representatives Sawyer and Petri. Mr. Sawyer. Thank you all for your patience. It is really one of those times of the year. I am grateful to everybody and glad that it is a group of people who are more or less regular partners of this committee and the work that we do. The 1995 Census Test is just a few months away. It really offers the very best opportunity that we have to achieve what we have all been working for for a long time now, and that is a census that is more accurate and, if possible, less proportionally costly and able to meet the Nations information needs. I feel very good about the directions that the Census Bureau has been going in and they are about to test many of the right kinds of innovations. I have been pleased to watch what can only be described as near consensus develop among experts such as some testifying today on this point. The lingering question is whether these test results will produce pure, clear, unequivocal answers to suggest whether and how we might implement those new methods. And the test ought to tell us not only what works, but how much we think it will cost. Those kinds of results have to be timely. Even though the census still seems a long way off, the schedule is extremely tight. The dollars have been tight. We have all struggled and tried to make as much of the opportunities that have been before us as we can, but no sooner than the ink is dry from 1995, we will be faced in 1996 with the need to determine content and then go on to procure massive amounts of material. So the choice of methods is important. So are the choices that will follow. Hundreds of thousands of people are involved. We are pleased to have an opportunity today to discuss the appropriate role of postal employees in that operational scheme. I am looking forward to a candid discussion today about the realistic answers we might expect and where we go from here.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Status of Planning for the 2000 Census: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Census, Statistics and Postal Personnel of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, January 26, 1994 Wednesday, January 26, 1994 House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Census, Statistics and Postal Personnel, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, Washington, D C. The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:36 a. m., in room 311, Cannon House Office Building, Hon. Thomas C. Sawyer (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Members present: Representatives Sawyer and Wynn. Mr. Sawyer. Good morning. Welcome to the latest installation of what my ranking member has come to call "census seminars." Today we would like to talk about the Census Bureau's recent report. The Appropriations Committee asked for the report because of its continued concern about the scope and the pace of the planning efforts. The primary testing of that planning effort and the preparation for the next census will take place in a year. At the last hearing we took a look at whether the plans addressed the concerns that we have heard expressed throughout the Congress about accuracy and cost. The Bureau is going to have to cover a lot of ground in a very short period of time. So, toward that end, we wanted to look today at how things are going and whether there are legislative changes that might be needed. The Department of Commerce is considering whether or not any laws will need to be changed to allow use of sampling in the census. I have a sense, at least from a lay position, that there is unanimity among lower courts that title 13 unequivocally permits the use of sampling so long as it is in addition to more traditional counting techniques, to improve the accuracy of the final numbers, rather than to purely supplement the use of those traditional techniques. To that end, my sense is that it probably doesn't justify tampering with the law that has been interpreted in detail to this point. But the truth is that we all face lawsuits, the Bureau faces many challenges and it has got to move quickly. So, for each of the proposed legislative initiatives, I hope that we are going to be able to look in some detail as to how that might improve the count. In any case, we are pleased to have with us again today Dr. Harry A. Scarr, who is the Acting Director of the Census Bureau, and Mr. William Hunt, the Director of Federal Management Issues, General Government Division, General Accounting Office.

Download or read book A Census that Mirrors America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the Census Bureau's program of research and development of the 2000 census, focusing particularly on the design of the 1995 census tests. The tests in 1995 should serve as a prime source of information about the effectiveness and cost of alternative census design components. The authors concentrate on those aspects of census methodology that have the greatest impact on two chief objectives of census redesign: reducing differential undercount and controlling costs. Primary attention is given to processes for data collection, the quality of population coverage and public response, and the use of sampling and statistical estimation.

Download or read book Modernizing the U S Census written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. census, conducted every 10 years since 1790, faces dramatic new challenges as the country begins its third century. Critics of the 1990 census cited problems of increasingly high costs, continued racial differences in counting the population, and declining public confidence. This volume provides a major review of the traditional U.S. census. Starting from the most basic questions of how data are used and whether they are needed, the volume examines the data that future censuses should provide. It evaluates several radical proposals that have been made for changing the census, as well as other proposals for redesigning the year 2000 census. The book also considers in detail the much-criticized long form, the role of race and ethnic data, and the need for and ways to obtain small-area data between censuses.
