The Bureau of the Census developed the
Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (ACE) approach for measuring
coverage of the population in the decennial census. The first phase
of the process is to independently list each housing unit in the
ACE sample block clusters. During the next phase, the listing will
be matched to the census list. An interviewer will visit selected
housing units and conduct an interview with the occupant(s) to
reconcile the differences.
