2010 Census Enumeration at Transitory Locations Quality Profile

Written by:
2010 Census Planning Memo No. 209

Executive Summary

This report presents the results of the 2010 Census Enumeration at Transitory Locations Reinterview Operation. The Enumeration at Transitory Locations operation was conducted for the first time in the 2010 Census to provide people without conventional housing an opportunity to be included in the census and to include their living quarters as a housing unit.

Transitory Locations included recreational vehicle parks, campgrounds, racetracks, circuses, carnivals, marinas, hotels, and motels (including those on military sites). To clarify, only those hotels and motels that stated they housed people on a long term basis were included in this universe.

In prior censuses, people in these types of facilities were enumerated as part of the Group Quarters operation. Other locations that might be considered “transitory” such as outdoor shelters or temporary parking lot sites remained in the Group Quarters operation.
