The Bureau of the Census developed the
ICM approach to improve statistical methodology for estimating
population coverage during the decennial census. The methodology
was first tested in the 1995 Census Test and will be refined in the
1996 Community Census. In this second phase of the process, we will
conduct person interviews using a laptop computer and
reconciliation. The interview data will identify people missed or
incorrectly included in the census, as well as people correctly
enumerated. As a result, we will have the information needed to
produce final estimates of the coverage for the 1996 Community
Census.
