One Number Census: Methodology and Results
The 2001 UK Census, in common with all such exercises, suffered from
a degree of undercount. New techniques were used to estimate the
level of this undercount by area, age, sex and a number of other
characteristics. The Census database was then adjusted at the
individual level to produce a consistent estimate of the true
population down to a very low geographic level. This ground-breaking
procedure is known as the One Number Census (ONC).
This seminar will describe the methodology used to estimate
undercount and adjust the database; the procedure used to quality
assure the estimates; and the main findings of the ONC in the 2001
Census.
The meeting will be preceded by a brief AGM.
All are welcome
Kerry
