## Agenda

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

## Background and Review (1)

- 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 Group Quarters Report
- InfoUSA:  telephone yellow pages
- ES-202:  state business registers
- Project evaluated by analysis of results and ad hoc follow up

## Background and Review (3)

- Summary of processing
- Match to existing GQ frame
- Geocode records, and remove non-geocoded
- Match to MAF and accept or reject records to update MAF

## Preliminary FSCPE Results (1)

- Summary of processing results
- About 9,000 FSCPE records at the start
- About 2,000 not on existing GQ frame
- 909 with geocode and address
- 82 duplicates
- Final results
- 812 FSCPE records accepted as MAF updates
- 15 rejected

## Preliminary FSCPE Results (2)

- 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 FSCPE 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 in spring of 2008
- Operational details will be forthcoming
- File layout
- File format
- Delivery mode(s)

## Preliminary Implementation Plan in 2010 Census

- Process similar to LUCA
- Invite FSCPE participation around September 2007
- Provide details to participants around January 2008
- Acquire files around May 2008
- Update MAF for address canvassing around July 2008
- Process independent of LUCA
