Fresh from a tumultuous 2020 census, the U.S. Census Bureau has quietly begun what it hopes will be a major overhaul of how it conducts the decennial census and manages 130 surveys that paint a statistical picture of the country.
Its goals are to hold down costs, reduce the burden on survey respondents, and do better at finding people from groups often undercounted. Agency officials believe the changes will result in more useful and timely information about the nation’s residents and the economy.
The agency’s constitutional duty—to determine how to divvy up the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives by state—makes it a perennial target for politicians. The 2020 cycle was especially fraught as then-President Donald Trump waged an assault on the agency’s independence that included an unsuccessful campaign to add a citizenship question to the census.
Hotz is conducting a study to understand rural aging in North Carolina and has found that men living alone can be especially elusive. “They aren’t homeowners, and they don’t appear in commercial housing databases,” he says. “They aren’t easy to find because they don’t want to be found.” The bureau’s Current Population Survey , a monthly survey of the U.S. labor force, yields a gross undercount of gig workers by assuming respondents have just one primary job, Salvo asserts. “CPS says there are 15 to 18 million people in the gig economy, and that the number hasn’t changed since 2005,” he says. “But recent studies suggest the number could be as high as 55 million.
