The 2010 Census Coverage Measurement
(CCM) Independent Listing Operation will be conducted in the U.S.
(excluding remote Alaska) and in Puerto Rico in select CCM sampled
areas. As in the past, the CCM operations and activities will be
conducted separate from and independent of the 2010 Census
operations. CCM will be conducted to provide estimates of net
coverage error and coverage error components (omissions and
erroneous enumerations) for housing units and persons in housing
units to improve future censuses.
