Discussion of the 1995 Census Test Service-Based Enumeration
Operation; Notice of Public Meeting
The Census Bureau is giving notice of a meeting to provide
information about the ``Service-Based Enumeration Operation'' planned
for the 1995 Census Test. The meeting will convene on October 31, 1994,
at 9 a.m. and will adjourn at 11 a.m. This meeting will be held at the
Census Bureau, Conference Center, Federal Building 3, Suitland,
Maryland.
The 1995 Census Test is a continuation of the Census Bureau's
research on fundamental changes to reduce the differential undercount
from the 1990 census and to contain the cost of the census. The 1995
Census Test will include operations to count people in housing units
and in group quarters (such as nursing facilities and college
dormitories), and at selected locations that provide services to
homeless and needy people. The Census Bureau plans to conduct a test of
the feasibility of enumerating people at locations that provide
services to homeless and needy people, such as shelters and soup
kitchens. Beginning March 1995, Oakland, California; Paterson, New
Jersey; and six parishes in northwest Louisiana will be enumerated.
This operation is one of the various enumeration methods aimed at
improving coverage in the 2000 census for people likely to be missed by
standard enumeration procedures for housing units.
The Census Bureau will invite representatives from national
organizations that represent providers of services to the homeless
population. At the meeting, the Census Bureau will discuss the general
purpose of the 1995 Census Test and will provide details of the
Service-Based Enumeration operational activities. This meeting should
be of significant interest to those organizations that are
representatives of national and state coalitions on the homeless,
involved with homeless research issues, homeless advocates, service
providers, and users of population data from the decennial census.
The tentative agenda for the meeting is: (1) Opening Remarks, (2)
Overview of the 1995 Census Test, (3) Overview of the ``Service-Based
Enumeration Operation,'' (4) Public Questions, and (5) Closing Remarks.
The meeting will be audio recorded.
This meeting is open to the public; however, seating is limited.
Please contact Sandra Lucas on 301-763-5337 by October 24 if you plan
