Hi everyone –

Thought you’d like to see the program for the Association of Public Data Users conference.  Please consider attending the conference!

 

Of particular note, the session on integrating administrative records with the ACS.  Deb Stempowski, Chief, American Community Survey is scheduled to speak.    As you know, the Census Bureau needs to do all it can to reduce costs for the ACS and the next decennial census.   

 

This topic is very important!  Some items like age and at least some questions about income (e.g. Social Security) seem very reliable from administrative records, does this mean that there will be MORE IMPUTATION of the journey-to-work and vehicle ownership questions if the field follow-up rate is reduced  and replaced with use of  administrative records?   Assuming there is more imputation, how much will this increase in imputation “cost” in terms of reliability and usability for small area transportation zones?

Reducing Respondent Burden:  Integrating Administrative Records with the American Community Survey



There are tremendous concerns in political circles about ACS.  Are there other ways to collect the data required for ACS that does not require a survey?  As the Census explores design options for ACS, what nontraditional data collection strategies might Census employ?  What are the challenges and opportunities?  What administrative data sources might prove most fruitful to supplement and strengthen the ACS?

Deb Stempowski, Chief, American Community Survey
Amy O’Hara, Chief, Center for Administrative Records Research & Applications, Census Bureau
