Census basics Why take a census?
– Apportion the House of Representatives– Determine political districts– Disburse funds for programs (more than
$400 billion in federal funds every year)– Develop a portrait of our nation
The 2010 Census:– Goal: Count everyone once, only once,
and in the right place– Questionnaire: Among the shortest in
history (10 questions for the first person, 7 for all others)

Census Terminology: Identity
RaceRace is a self-identification data item in which respondents choose the race or races with which they most closely identify.
Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish originOrigin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Population estimates and projections
Estimates are historical population figures
Projections are future population figures Produced by the US Census Bureau and
the California Department of Finance Estimates are based on decennial
census counts updated with recent administrative data
Projections are based on assumptions about future fertility, mortality, and migration rates

Two primary surveys of the U.S. population
Both surveys conducted by the Census Bureau
Current Population Survey– Monthly survey– Focus on labor market
American Community Survey (ACS)
33
![Page 34: A Brief Demography of California Hans Johnson Public Policy Institute of California johnson@ppic.org November 30, 2010](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2d5503460f94b1cc01/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What is the ACS? Monthly survey conducted by the Census Bureau
Annually samples about 3 million households
Items covered are similar to those of the long-form questionnaire of the 2000 decennial census
Replaces the 2010 long-form of the census
![Page 35: A Brief Demography of California Hans Johnson Public Policy Institute of California johnson@ppic.org November 30, 2010](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2d5503460f94b1cc01/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Topics Covered Demographic characteristics Income and employment Transportation Education Origins and languages Migration Disability and caregivers Housing: Physical characteristics Housing: Financial characteristics
![Page 36: A Brief Demography of California Hans Johnson Public Policy Institute of California johnson@ppic.org November 30, 2010](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2d5503460f94b1cc01/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Advantages of the ACS Large sample relative to the Current Population Survey
– 3 million versus 60,000 households Timely data relative to the decennial census Topical coverage nearly identical to the census long-form Single year data not reliable for small areas
![Page 38: A Brief Demography of California Hans Johnson Public Policy Institute of California johnson@ppic.org November 30, 2010](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2d5503460f94b1cc01/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Limitations of the ACS Not a count of the population Small sample relative to the decennial census
– Census long-form went to one in six households– ACS goes to one in forty
A moving average rather than a point in time Estimates for census tracts and block groups will be based on five year periods
![Page 39: A Brief Demography of California Hans Johnson Public Policy Institute of California johnson@ppic.org November 30, 2010](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2d5503460f94b1cc01/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
