Decision on Intercensal Population Estimates
Decision on Intercensal Population Estimates
The Census Bureau will produce intercensal population estimates based on the official Census 2000 results rather than on a population base adjusted using the revised estimates of census coverage. The Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (A.C.E.) Revision II methodology represents a dramatic improvement from the previous March 2001 A.C.E. results. However, several technical concerns remain, including uncertainty about the adjustment for correlation bias, errors from synthetic estimation, and inconsistencies between demographic analysis estimates and the A.C.E. Revision II estimates of the coverage of children. Given these technical concerns, the Census Bureau has concluded that the A.C.E. Revision II estimates should not be used to change the base for intercensal population estimates.
