Using Administrative Record Persons in the 1996 Community Census
Using Administrative Record Persons in the 1996 Community Census
SM97-06
Introduction
Information from administrative records are a possible source of people and housing uits missed in the Census. This paper documents the evaluation of the administrative records person level data used in the 1996 Community Census. A coverage measurement personal interview was conducted in all housing units in the three test sites (seven tracts in Chicago, IL, the Fort Hall Reservation, ID, and the Pueblo of Acoma, NM) of the 1996 Community Census. This personal interveiw was conducted via a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI), and will be thus forth reffered to as the Integrated Coverage Measurement ICM CAPI. Prior to the ICM CAPI interview, administrative records people and people enumerated during the initial phase of the census were unduplicated and loaded into the CAPI instrument for the appropriate housing unit. During the ICM CAPI, it was possible for an interviewer to ask questions about people thought to be living in that housing unit, which could include asking administrative records people.
