2020 Census Operational Assessment: Post-Enumeration Survey Coverage Measurement Design and Estimation

Written by:

The 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) Coverage Measurement Design and Estimation (CMDE) operation developed the survey design and sample for the 2020 Census PES. This operation produced estimates of census coverage based on the PES. It also reported estimates of net coverage error and components of census coverage for demographic groups, geographic areas, and key census operations.

This report describes the activities of the CMDE operation, documents lessons learned, and suggests some recommendations to improve the planning and implementation of the CMDE operation in the future.

It presents data to inform the next planning cycle for the 2030 Census coverage measurement activities and provides information on the success of the 2020 Census operations. It documents operational details for both sampling and estimation activities, as well as any lessons learned.
