Some Results from the Continuous Count Study

Oregon Convention Center 

The Continuous Count Study is researching how information and lower-level geographic and demographic characteristic estimates can be generated throughout the decade to help inform the data collection and estimation strategy for the 2030 Census. At the conception, this study has two parts. The first is an annual administrative record population estimates program building on the use of administrative records in the 2020 Census and the Real Time Administrative Record Census evaluation. The second part is researching population estimation and small area estimation techniques to generate alternative population estimates that can be used to assess the quality of the administrative record data results. This paper summarizes some initial results from the Continuous Count Study, focusing on the initial estimates for lower geographic and demographic domains.
