Decennial Long Form Margins of Error

Hello all,

Does anyone know of any resources that examine measurement error in the decennial long form? I know the Census did not publish margins of error per se.

Thanks for any assistance.

  • There's been some attempt at finding noise injected at the block level in the name of privacy just by looking for oddities like people without housing units, children without adults, and Steve Ruggles at IPUMS has been following that pretty closely @HistDem Of course there's no longer  a long form census (2000 was the last one) and the decennial census is not a survey so there's no sampling error, but there will be studies later to see if people were undercounted -- some details on that here
