For each of the Census Bureau’s household surveys, calculating final person weights involves several stages of adjustment to the initial sampling weights. The number of stages and details of the procedures differ somewhat by survey, but they all have two stages in common: adjustment for household nonresponse and adjustment to monthly age x race x sex (demographic) totals. When the latter adjustment is carried out for the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), it is done simultaneously with adjustment to monthly controls for six household types. These controls are estimated from the Current Population Survey, whereas the demographic totals are projected from the previous decennial census using birth, death and immigration data.
