We began the initial operations for the penultimate operation to enumerate the US population about July 1. The “vacant/delete check,” in Census Bureau jargon, is small, relative to the full nonresponse followup operation, which visited 47 million addresses. We’re visiting about 8.5 million units in the operation.
2. “Deletes” — Others among the 47 million posed real problems for our census takers. We couldn’t find a physical housing unit associated with the address, or the address was judged to be a duplicate listing for another listing. In either case, our nonresponse followup workers documented the address listing as “delete.”
3. “Supplementals” — We also are visiting about 3 million addresses that are additions to our list that came to us late. Local officials gave us some to check; the Postal Service gave us some new delivery addresses; and we checking on other sets to make sure we understand their household composition as of April 1, 2010. Many of these we expect might be occupied as of April 1, 2010.
