This quality profile presents the results of the 2010 Census Coverage Measurement Independent Listing Quality Assurance program. The Independent Listing is the first field operation in the Census Coverage Measurement process and occurred, along with its Quality Assurance components, from August 28, 2009 to December 12, 2009. Its purpose is to obtain a complete housing inventory of all the addresses within the Census Coverage Measurement sample block clusters1. The 2010 Census Coverage Measurement housing inventory was comprised of housing units and potential housing units that listers recorded in Independent Listing Books for the sample block clusters. Listers also identified the location of each housing unit by assigning it a map spot on a Census Coverage Measurement block map.

The objective of the 2010 Census Coverage Measurement Independent Listing Quality Assurance program was to ensure that listers correctly canvassed their assigned block clusters and properly listed and map spotted all valid housing units and potential housing units. This objective was accomplished through the following quality assurance activities:

• Initial Observation of listers
• Crew Leader Edit of listers’ work
• Office Edit of listers’ work
• Dependent Quality Check of listers’ work by Dependent Quality Check listers
