2018 Survey of Compact of Free Association (COFA) Migrants

As stated in the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003, an enumeration of Micronesians shall be conducted every five years in Hawaii, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and American Samoa for disbursing Compact funds. The U.S. Department of the Interior decided to use the American Community Survey (ACS) data to estimate the number of Micronesians living in Hawaii and Census 2010 data to determine the number of Micronesians living in American Samoa. The Department of the Interior has requested that the Census Bureau conduct a survey to estimate the number of Micronesians living in Guam and CNMI. Based on the Compact, the 2018 Survey of Micronesians will be fielded in 2018 and will survey a sample of households through in-person interviews.
