商品描述
This open access book describes the differences in US census coverage, also referred to as "differential undercount", by showing which groups have the highest net undercounts and which groups have the greatest undercount differentials, and discusses why such undercounts occur. In addition to focusing on measuring census coverage for several demographic characteristics, including age, gender, race, Hispanic origin status, and tenure, it also considers several of the main hard-to-count populations, such as immigrants, the homeless, the LBGT community, children in foster care, and the disabled. However, given the dearth of accurate undercount data for these groups, they are covered less comprehensively than those demographic groups for which there is reliable undercount data from the Census Bureau. This book is of interest to demographers, statisticians, survey methodologists, and all those interested in census coverage.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍描述了美國人口普查的覆蓋差異,也稱為「差異性低估」,通過顯示哪些群體的淨低估最高以及哪些群體的低估差異最大,並討論為什麼會發生這種低估。除了專注於測量幾個人口特徵的普查覆蓋率,包括年齡、性別、種族、西班牙裔來源狀況和居住狀況外,還考慮了幾個主要的難以計算的人口,例如移民、無家可歸者、LGBT社群、寄養兒童和殘障人士。然而,鑒於這些群體缺乏準確的低估數據,因此它們的覆蓋程度不如那些擁有可靠低估數據的人口群體全面。本書對於人口學家、統計學家、調查方法學家以及所有對人口普查覆蓋感興趣的人士都具有吸引力。
