The Future of Census Coverage Surveys
In Probability and Statistics: Essays in Honor of David A. Freedman (Deborah Nolan and Terence Speed, editors), IMS Collections Vol. 2, 234--245, Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Beachwood, OH (2008).
[GScholar?]
[DOI]

Abstract: A quarter-century of statistical research has shown that census coverage surveys, valuable as they are in offering a report card on each decennial census, do not provide usable estimates of geographical differences in coverage. The determining reason is the large number of ``doubly missing'' people missing both from the census enumeration and from coverage survey estimates. Future coverage surveys should be designed to meet achievable goals, foregoing efforts at spatial specificity. One implication is a sample size no more than about 30,000, setting free resources for controlling processing errors and investing in coverage improvement. Possible integration of coverage measurement with the American Community Survey would have many benefits and should be given careful consideration.

On the likelihood of improving the accuracy of the census through statistical adjustment
In Science and Statistics: A Festschrift for Terry Speed (Darlene R. Goldstein, editor), IMS Lecture Notes−-Monograph Series Vol. 40, 197--230, Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Beachwood, OH (2003).

Abstract: In this article, we sketch procedures for taking the census, making adjustments, and evaluating the results. Despite what you read in the newspapers, the census is remarkably accurate. Statistical adjustment is unlikely to improve on the census, because adjustment can easily put in more error than it takes out. Indeed, error rates in the adjustment turn out to be comparable to errors in the census. The data suggest a strong geographical pattern to such errors, even after controlling for demography---which contradicts a basic premise of adjustment. The complex demographic controls built into the adjustment mechanism turn out to be counter-productive. Proponents of adjustment have cited \u201closs function analysis \u201d to compare the accuracy of the census and adjustment, generally to the advantage of the latter. However, the chosen analyses make assumptions that are highly stylized, and quite favorable to adjustment. With more realistic assumptions, loss function analysis is neutral, or favors the census. At the heart of the adjustment mechanism, there is a large sample survey---the post enumeration survey. The size of the survey cannot be justified. The adjustment process now consumes too large a share of the Census Bureau's scarce resources, which should be reallocated to other Bureau programs.
