Summary:

Provides overview of the 2010 decennial census, which is part of the Bureau of Census mandate to conduct a once-a-decade enumeration of the U.S. population. Discusses major innovations planned for the 2010 census, including a short-form-only approach to be supplemented by the American Community Survey, problems encountered with attempt to automate certain census field operations, persistent differential census undercount of less advantaged groups in the population, and efforts to ensure an equitable census.
