Item Nonresponse, Allocation, and Data Editing of the Question on Hispanic Origin in the American Community Survey (Acs): 2000 to 2007: Population DIV

Every ten years the United States Census counts every resident in the country. The data is collected to figure out the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives, it is used to distribute billions of federal funds, and to answer other questions as well. Employees from the Population Division on the U.S. Census uses this data to research and stimulate deliberation of the work taking place. This is one of those Working Papers.
