 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.},
