Report Description:
This is our final report on the evaluation of the Census Bureau’s 2020 decennial program preparation and planning efforts. We initiated our evaluation of the 2016 Census Test to review (1) the effectiveness of the new management structure and (2) the effectiveness of the operational control system (OCS) to support nonresponse followup (NRFU) operations. Our first objective was to determine whether the Bureau documented its decision to utilize the enumerator-to-supervisor ratios selected for the 2016 test. Our second objective was to determine whether the Bureau designed the test to (a) assess the effectiveness of the OCS in supporting supervisors during NRFU operations by comparing 2016 test results to results of previous tests and (b) determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a higher enumerator-to-supervisor ratio compared to the 2010 Census.
