Description

The 2010 Census was the costliest U.S. Census in history at about $13 billion, and was about 56% more costly than the $8 billion cost of the 2000 Census. The fundamental challenge facing the Bureau going forward is cost effectively counting a population that is growing steadily larger, more diverse and becoming increasingly difficult to enumerate. This report assesses: (1) the key factors affecting cost growth from the 2000 Census to the 2010 Census; (2) the CBäó»s plans for controlling costs for the 2020 Census and what additional steps, if any, could be taken; and (3) the extent to which the CBäó»s plans for developing life cycle cost estimates for 2020 are consistent with best practices. Charts and tables. A print on demand report.
