The Integration of the American Community Survey and the Population Estimates Program PIE Program for Integrated Estimates
Current Relationship • One way relationship • Intercensal Estimates are controls to ACS • Provide controls for counties by age, sex, race, Hispanic origin • Intercensal Estimates Program provide basic population counts • American Community Survey (ACS) provides additional characteristics • I.e., education, nativity, migration
Issues With Current Relationship • Intercensal Estimates not taking advantage of wealth of data from ACS • e.g. nativity, migration, household formation • Different residence concepts • Intercensal estimates based on census residence which is usual residence • ACS based on 2-month rule • Subcounty boundary differences
Approaches to Resolving Issues • Use Data from ACS to inform Estimates • Continuous, timely data on foreign born to develop measures of unauthorized migration, emigration, and temporary migration • Measures of internal migration provide means of identifying possible bias in IRS based migration
Approaches to Resolving Issues • Use Data from ACS to inform Estimates • Data on living arrangements provide information on vacancy and persons per household • Data on births in last year provide consistent numerators and denominators to develop fertility measures
Approaches to Resolving Issues • Use Data from ACS to inform Estimates • Data by race/Hispanic origin may help measure changes in racial identification patterns
Approaches to Resolving Issues • Use Data from Related ACS Operations and Geographic Updates to inform Estimates • Relate changes in MAF to changes in number of housing units • Develop mechanism to incorporate information from address updating program into the Intercensal Estimates Program
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Introduce modifications to Census 2000 into Estimates base • CQR Changes to be incorporated into Intercensal Estimates beginning with vintage 2002 estimates • Estimates for July 2002 to be released in late 2002/2003 will be first to incorporate CQR updates
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Improve measures of international migration components • Examine alternative data sets • Temporary migration data files at INS • Consultation with Mexico and Canada • Foreign Censuses • School enrollment data at local level • Continue consultation with outside experts • Implement annual measurement using ACS
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Develop integrated system to produce all population estimates and projections • Phase in results of Population Estimates and Projections Integration System (PEPIS)
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Implement preliminary results of Post 2000 Estimates Program (P2KEP) • Methods Conference - March 1999 • No new methods identified • Focus on new and emerging data sets • Support state participation - FY 2000-2001 • 8 states submitted proposals and received Census Bureau funding
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Implement preliminary results of Post 2000 Estimates Program (P2KEP) • Evaluation of State/Census developed methods- FY 2001 - 2002 • Ongoing using criteria developed by Methods Subcommittee • Review by Methods Subcommittee • Integrate State developed county and subcounty estimates - FY 2003 • Introduce for vintage 2003
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Expand involvement of FSCPE agencies in estimates production • Develop tools to facilitate FSCPE review of outputs • Capitalize on GIS tools developed for Count Review operation • Use Internet options
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Expand involvement of FSCPE agencies in estimates production • Expand role of FSCPE in Census Bureau programs • SAIPE involvement • Geographic Updating Program • LUCA • ACS • Explore integration of alternative State migration estimates developed by FSCPE
Additional Enhancements to Intercensal Estimates Program • Produce final intercensal estimates that benchmark to 1990 Census and Census 2000 • Incorporate international migration evaluation • Incorporate Mathematical smoothing • Incorporate Results of Race Evaluations • Incorporate Results of Coverage Evaluation Studies
