A Summary Review of Research Relevant to Housing Units Missing from the Census Bureau’s Master Address File (MAF)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Historically, the problem has been that the decennial census (and the American Community Survey) are primarily mail surveys. If a household did not receive a mailed census form they generally could not return it, although in some areas the decennial census uses an alternative mode of enumeration—leave/enumerate (where census enumerators leave a form for a household to complete) or update/enumerate (stopping by to add a housing unit to the MAF and, at the same time, enumerating the household). In Census 2020 this problem will persist even though the Bureau will encourage online responses—because if there is no address on file for the respondent they will not receive a link to allow them to respond online.
