## Field Data Collection: Vision
2010 Census

Preston Jay Waite 
Associate Director for Decennial Census

**2010 Census**
**Preston Jay Waite**** **
**Associate Director for Decennial Census**
**February 28, 2005**

## Census 2000 a Great Success But There is Still Room for Improvement

- We did phenomenal work in the field, but:
- It was very expensive
- We were drowning in paper, and
- We conducted unnecessary field interviews for late mail return households
- Our systems worked, but they were developed at high risk and without an established enterprise architecture

## Lessons Learned from Census 2000

- If we want to save money in Census 2010, we*** must do so in the field***
- If we want to save money in the field, we ***must reduce workload, paper and people***
- If we want quality improvement, we must reduce operational risk in our IT systems and ***simplify enumerator work assignments***
- If we want to achieve our 2010 Census goals, operational testing of design infrastructure ***must continue*** in the decade

## The 2010 Census Reengineering Plan 

**Goals of the 2010 Census****	**
-  Reduce Risks
-  Contain costs
-  Improve accuracy
-  Provide more relevant data

## Field Data CollectionVision for 2010

- More efficient and accurate field data collection methods without sacrificing data quality
- Use mobile computing solutions with GPS technology for:
- Determining accurate locations of housing units
- Address and map updating  activities
- Nonresponse followup and other field data collection operations
- Reduce paper data capture
- Reduce NRFU workload by updating enumerator work assignments daily based on late mail returns

## Field Data CollectionPotential Benefits

- Increased quality of data – GPS and embedded quality assurance
- Reduction in costs for field data capture
- Reduction in NRFU interviews – by providing daily updates on late mail returns
- Reduced real estate costs – less space required for our 450+ temporary offices

## What has happened with FDCA since the August 27, 2004 Industry Day?

- Conducted market research
- Analyzed preliminary 2004 Census Test evaluation results
- Selected the field data collection operations/functions that will be automated using mobile computing solutions for 2010
- Revised the scope of the FDCA Program
- Defined the acquisition strategy
- Established the Project Management Office

## Conclusion

- FDCA is a critical effort to the success of the 2010 Census
- 2010 Census cannot succeed if FDCA fails
- FDCA cannot succeed without private sector partnership
- This is where you come in
