SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract 

The 2010 Census Coverage 

Measurement (CCM) Initial Housing 

Unit Followup (IHUFU) Operation will 

be conducted in the U.S. (excluding 

remote Alaska) and in Puerto Rico in 

selected CCM sampled areas. The 

primary sampling unit is a block cluster, 

which consists of one or more 

geographically contiguous census 

blocks. As in the past, the CCM 

operations and activities will be 

managed and staffed separately from, 

and independent of, the 2010 Census 

operations. 

CCM will be conducted to provide 

estimates of net coverage error and 

coverage error components for 

omissions and erroneous enumerations 

for housing units and persons in 

housing units (see Definition of Terms) 

to improve future censuses. The data 

collection and matching methodologies 

for previous coverage measurement 

programs were designed only to 

measure net coverage error, which 

reflects the difference between 

omissions and erroneous inclusions. 

The 2010 CCM will be comprised of 

two samples selected to measure census 

coverage of housing units and the 

household population: The population 

sample (P sample) and the enumeration 

sample (E sample). The P sample is a 

sample of housing units and persons 

obtained independently from the census 

for a sample of block clusters. The E 

sample is a sample of census housing 

units and enumerations in the same 

block cluster as the P sample. The 

independent roster of housing units is 

obtained during the CCM Independent 

Listing, the results of which will be 

matched to census housing units in the 

sample block clusters and surrounding 

blocks. A separate OMB register notice 

was previously submitted for the 

Independent Listing operation 

published on July 25, 2008 (Vol. 73, Pg. 

43406). 

After the CCM Independent Listing 

and matching operations have taken 

place, some cases will be identified to 

receive the CCM IHUFU interview. 

Generally, these will be cases where 

additional information is needed to 

determine housing unit status (for 

example, clarify if the addresses refer to 

a housing unit, identify duplicate 

addresses) or resolve inconsistencies 

observed during the matching 

operations between the CCM and census 

addresses in the block cluster. Using a 

paper questionnaire tailored for the type 

of follow-up required, interviewers will 

contact a member (or proxy, as a last 

resort) of each housing unit needing 

followup to answer questions that might 

allow a resolution of housing unit status 

or clarify discrepancies. We also will 

conduct a quality control operation of 

the IHUFU called the Initial Housing 

Unit Followup Quality Control (IHUFU 

QC) of 10 percent of the IHUFU 

workload to ensure that the work 

performed is of acceptable quality. 

There will be two IHUFU Forms, D– 

1303 and D–1303PR. The D–1303 is the 

English language version of the IHUFU 

form and will be used to collect data 

and to conduct QC for addresses in CCM 

stateside sample areas. The D–1303PR is 

the Spanish language version of the 

listing form, which will be used for the 

same purposes in the CCM sample areas 

of Puerto Rico. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Initial Housing Unit Followup 

operation will be conducted using 

person-to-person interviews. 

Definition of Terms 

Components of Coverage Error—The 

four components of census coverage 

error are: Omissions, erroneous 

enumerations, correct enumerations, 

and whole-person census imputations. 

Whole-person census imputations are 

applicable only for person estimates. 

Net Coverage Error—Reflects the 

difference between the estimated 

population (or subpopulation) total 

obtained through dual system 

estimation and the census count for that 

population (or subpopulation). A 

positive net error indicates a census 

undercount, while a negative net error 

indicates a census overcount.
