“…Although the 2010 Census data is a reasonable basis for model development, the Census Bureau is actively researching the feasibility of using alternate training data to fit the administrative record models. For example, the use of more current ACS data as training data in conjunction with 2015 Census Test data could be treated as the gold standard (Chow et al 2017).…”

The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting research on using administrative records to reduce the cost while maintaining the quality of the 2020 Census Nonresponse Followup (NRFU). Previous census tests have implemented approaches that use predictive models and optimization procedures to identify vacant and occupied housing units using administrative records. This article details a modification to previous approaches, introducing a simple distance metric to define a quality ranking of housing units to enumerate using administrative records. The distance approach is illustrated, assessed, and compared to a previous approach via a retrospective study of the 2010 U.S. Census.
