摘要

Nonresponse follow-up--where enumerators from the Bureau of the Census went door-to-door to count those individuals who did not mail back their questionnaires--was the most costly and labor intensive of all 2000 Census operations. According to bureau data, labor, mileage, and certain administrative costs alone amounted to about $1.4 billion, or about 22 percent of the total $6.5 billion allocated for the 2000 Census from fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year 2003. In terms of employment, the bureau hired about a half a million enumerators, which temporarily made it one of the nation's largest employers, surpassed by only a handful of big organizations like Wal-Mart and the U.S. Postal Service. Moreover, the workload and schedule of nonresponse follow-up--the need to collect data from about 42 million nonresponding households within a 10-week time framemade the conduct of this operation extraordinarily difficult and complex. In our prior work we noted that the success of nonresponse follow-up would depend in large part on the bureau's ability to maintain data quality while completing the operation on schedule, before error rates increased as people moved or had trouble recalling who was living at their homes on Census Day--April 1.
