Looking toward the 2020 Census.This open access book describes the differences in US census coverage, also referred to as “differential undercount”, by showing which groups have the highest net undercounts and which groups have the greatest undercount differentials, and discusses why such undercounts occur. In addition to focusing on measuring census coverage for several demographic characteristics, including age, gender, race, Hispanic origin status, and tenure, it also considers several of the main hard-to-count populations, such as immigrants, the homeless, the LBGT community, children in foster care, and the disabled. However, given the dearth of accurate undercount data for these groups, they are covered less comprehensivelythan those demographic groups for which there is reliable undercount data from the Census Bureau. This book is of interest to demographers, statisticians, survey methodologists, and all those interested in census coverage.SpringerBriefs in Population Studies,2211-3223DemographyPopulationStatisticsSociologyMethodologyPopulation and DemographyStatistical Theory and MethodsSociological MethodsDemography.Population.Statistics.SociologyMethodology.Population and Demography.Statistical Theory and Methods.Sociological Methods.304.6353.00819MAT029000SOC006000SOC019000bisacshO’Hare William Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut942318MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910337705103321Differential Undercounts in the U.S. Census2126405UNINA
