2000 Census: Status of Key Operations

Abstract

We have been tracking the Bureau's progress in designing and implementing the 2000 Census throughout this past decade. A consistent theme of our work has been that despite the Bureau's unprecedented efforts to achieve maximum accuracy in the most cost-effective way possible, formidable challenges surround such key census-taking operations as building a complete and accurate address list, securing an acceptable level of public participation, hiring a sufficient number of temporary workers, and gathering accurate and complete data. These challenges have raised concerns that the 2000 Census may be less accurate than the 1990 Census.
