What are the specific differences in the way you are planning to conduct the 2000 census from the way it was done in 1990?
Although there are many aspects of Census 2000 that are different from the 1990 Census, the key differences are: * Using address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service. * Asking state, local, and tribal governments to help correct census maps and address lists. * First-time utilizing paid advertising by extremely qualified experts. * Creating a new “user-friendly” questionnaire that will be simpler and easier for respondents to understand and fill out. * Digitally capturing of forms enabling us to scan responses directly into computers that can read handwriting. * Using “matching” software that allows us to check individual blocks and identify multiple responses from the same household. This allows the Census Bureau to provid more opportunities for the public to respond, including placing forms called “Be Counted” documents in community locations across the country.
