摘要

The Census Bureau, in consultation with expert advisory panels, reengineered census-taking methods to meet the challenges of accurately and cost-effectively counting an increasingly hard-to-count population in 2000. An accurate census is crucial because the Constitution requires that it be used to apportion the Congress. Additionally, census data are used for a host of other important activities, including federal and state redistricting, the implementation and enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and the distribution of billions of dollars of federal and state funds each year. Because of its centrality to decisions that last 10 years, the bureau must address concerns about the content and method of conducting the census raised by federal, state, and local governments and a myriad of advocacy groups whose constituents are affected by census results. The 1990 census was long, expensive, and labor-intensive, a situation exacerbated by a lower-than-expected public response. Because of the low response, the bureau required additional appropriations from the Congress during the census to complete the count. Despite the census higher cost, post-analysis concluded that its accuracy decreased. Particularly alarming to the Congress and other stakeholders was the increase in the differential undercount over past censuses; that is, of people missed in the census, a disproportionate number were minorities, who were often poor, urban, and facing language barriers.
