## Agenda

- Background and review of project
- Preliminary research results
- Requirements for implementation in 2010 Census

## Background and Review

- Address frame strategy for 2010 is to have an integrated, systematic approach to updating list of living quarters
- GQ frame pilot program tested one approach to updating GQ list

## Background and Review (2)

- GQ frame update pilot project identified potential GQs from several source files
- FSCPE Enhanced GQR
- InfoUSA:  telephone yellow pages
- ES-202:  state business registers
- Project evaluated by analysis of results and ad hoc follow up

## Preliminary FSCPE Results

- First step:  screen out records already on census GQ frame

|  | Alaska | California | Georgia | New Mexico | New York | Travis Cty. TX | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Not on census GQ frame | 101 | 461 | 740 | 38 | 695 | 18 | 2,053 |
| On census GQ frame | 225 | 2,140 | 1,659 | 137 | 2,800 | 61 | 7,022 |
| Total | 326 | 2,601 | 2,399 | 175 | 3,495 | 79 | 9,075 |

## Preliminary FSCPE Results (2)

- Second step:  screen out records with no address or no census block geocode

|  | Alaska | California | Georgia | New Mexico | New York | Travis Cty. TX | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| With address and geocode | 46 | 261 | 522 | 9 | 53 | 18 | 909 |
| No address or geocode | 55 | 200 | 218 | 29 | 642 | 0 | 1,144 |
| Total | 101 | 461 | 740 | 38 | 695 | 18 | 2,053 |

## Preliminary FSCPE Results (3)

- Last step:  unduplicate, match to MAF and accept or reject records as MAF updates
-  82 records identified as duplicates and removed

|  | Alaska | California | Georgia | New Mexico | New York | Travis Cty. TX | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Accepted as MAF Update | 45 | 201 | 493 | 8 | 48 | 17 | 812 |
| Rejected as MAF Update | 1 | 5 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 15 |
| Total | 46 | 206 | 501 | 9 | 48 | 17 | 827 |

## Preliminary FSCPE Results (4)

- Summary of accepted FSCPE records:
- 78 were new addresses for the MAF
- Almost half of these were college quarters
- 731 were address conversions
- Most were emergency shelters, juvenile institutions, nursing homes
- 3 added some new data to existing MAF GQ record
- Summary of rejected FSCPE records:
- All 15 were currently on MAF as GQ
- No new data added to existing MAF record

## Evaluating the FSCPE Results

- FSCPE records had high rate of new addresses  good “bang for the buck”
- Low MAF rejection rate = high quality data
- Census ad hoc GQ follow up confirmed high FSCPE quality
- FSCPE verification confirmed high quality

## Conclusions of the Pilot Program

- Implement the pilot program nationally
- Get your help to update the census GQ frame in advance of 2010 Census
- Acquire FSCPE data and meet 2010 Census requirements

## High-Level Requirements for Implementation in 2010 Census (1)

- Census field staff must be able to physically locate the GQ
- GQ name is required
- GQ address is required
- City-style:  e.g., house number, street name, city, state, ZIP
- Non-city-style:  e.g., rural route, box number, city, state, ZIP

## High-Level Requirements for Implementation in 2010 Census (2)

- Timing:  After Local Update of Census Addresses and before Address Canvassing
- FSCPE participants deliver files around spring of 2008
- Operational details will be forthcoming
- File layout
- File format
- Delivery mode(s)
