The 2020 Census
"The Census and the Japanese "Internment
The evacuation and incarceration of some 100,000+ Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II, and the subsequent repudiation of the policy in the 1980s, provides a case study of how a human rights abuse occurred in time of war, was challenged in later years, and led to formal apologies from the U.S. government and token reparations for the survivors. The current analysis provides a case study of how a particular agency, the U.S. Census Bu…

The Census and the Federal Statistical System
This article provides an overview of one major platform of the federal statistical system, the census. It briefly describes the origin and structure of the current diverse and decentralized federal statistical system and then describes the place of the census and the Census Bureau in the system. It treats the census in the context of the demographic and political history of the nation and discusses how the demographic and political history of the…
The Census, Audiences, and Publics
Visual and oral, video and audio evidence are brought to bear to examine the history of the U.S. census and the practice of social science history. The article explores how artists have appropriated and depicted census taking in America and how census takers used “artistic” forms of evidence to advertise and promote the census and explicate census results to the public. The article also suggests how social science historians have understood and u…
Quantitative History
The Missouri debates, slavery and statistics of race
En 1819, le Congrès américain se mit à discuter de l’admission du Missouri comme nouvel État de l’Union. Le Missouri était alors le second État créé depuis l’achat de la Louisiane et le premier admis au sein de la partie septentrionale du territoire. James Tallmadge, représentant de l’État de New York, proposa un amendement au projet de loi interdisant l’introduction d’esclaves dans le nouvel État et rendant obligatoire une émancipation progressi…

Why Is There Still a Controversy About Adjusting the Census for Undercount
We appear to agree with Brunell on four factual matters: “Census 2000 is over; the debate over adjusting the census is not”.The computer coding error in 1990 would not have erroneously shifted any congressional seats has adjusted data been used for reapportionment.In March 2001, the Census Bureau announced that it was “unable to conclude ... that the adjusted Census 2000 data are more accurate for redistricting.”The Census Bureau has refused to r…
Getting the Facts on the Census Correct
As the initial results of the 2000 Census were made public, the December 2000 issue of PS was published. In that issue, articles by Lynne Billard (2000), Thomas Brunell (2000a), and by us (Anderson and Fienberg 2000a) explored the technical innovations for adjusting the census to ameliorate the effect of the differential undercount and the political controversies surrounding the implementation of some of those innovations in the 1990 census. We c…
Who Counts
This article describes some of the legal decisions and problems among politicians and demographers who produce US census counts of population. The impact of the US Supreme Court hearing and decision in Wisconsin vs New York is discussed followed by an analysis of the Census Bureaus plans for the Census in 2000. Census procedures have been challenged since 1988. Litigation forced the use of the Post Enumeration Survey for adjusting the 1990 Census…
Census 2000 and the politics of census taking
Partisan Politics at Work
In his preceding article, Brunell offers some background on Census 2000, the use of sampling and adjustment in a census context, the magnitude of the differential undercount from prior censuses, and the debate over the use of sample-based adjustments to the count. Much of his description of Census 2000 is correct, as far as it goes. It is what he leaves out that is problematic. His omissions lead him to draw the wrong conclusions about the underc…
History, Myth Making, and Statistics
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness .... Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfil it . —George Santayana, 1905-06 Those who are familiar with the “equal proportions” formula used to reapportion the U.S. House of Representatives each decade are aware how sensitive it is to small changes in states' population data. In 1990, this sensitivity took on new significance as statisticians and politicians deb…
Race and Ethnicity and the Controversy Over the US Census
The article examines the relationship between the history of the census undercount and classification of race and ethnicity in the United States Census. The US decennial census was created to apportion seats in the House of Representatives among the states. The race classification derives from the provisions of the 1787 federal Constitution, which required that the census differentiate slave and free persons and exclude Indians not taxed for the …

(Only) White Men have Class
The article examines the logic and functions of early 19th-century occupational classification systems and explores their implications for later systems. Efforts to collect occupational data in official censuses and surveys date from the late 18th century. Much of the existing literature on occupation statistics treats the data collection efforts of the late 18th and first half of the 19th centuries as a kind of 'prehistory.' Many of the early ef…
