2010 Census

• Mother of all address lists (enumeration)• Only “Short Form” in 2010 (the count)• Reapportionment and redistricting file by the end of

2010.• Representation and Resource Allocation• Issues: “Disproportionate Undercount”• Hence: “Complete Count” Programs

• Instead of “Long Form” we have:– “The American Community Survey”

American Community Survey

• Nationwide, continuous annual survey collecting the information on the 2000 Census “long form”– Demographic, Economic, Social and Housing– From 1 in 6 households in 2000 to 1 in 8 now– Three Million households a year

• Most definitive source of such data (allocations)• Involves Margins of Error --- ( +/- ) like polls.

– OSEDA Web application uses bold font for low MOE…

• Three types of estimates each year based on size– 1-Year -- 65,000 population or more (Available Now) – 3-Year -- 20,000 population or more (Available Now)– 5-year -- Less than 20,000 population (Coming fall 2010)
