The CCM operations planned will
provide estimates of net coverage error and components of coverage
error (omissions and erroneous enumerations) for housing units and
persons in housing units. The data collection and matching
methodologies for previous coverage measurement programs were
designed only to measure net coverage error, which reflects the
difference between omissions and erroneous inclusions. The CCM
Person Interview and Person Interview Reinterview Collection is a
key component in collecting the person data necessary to make those
components.
