Resumen
Over the past 60 years, the overall accuracy of the U.S. Decennial Census
has steadily improved. But some groups still experience higher net undercounts than
other groups in the Census. The issue of differential Census undercounts is introduced
in this Chapter along with some of the key concepts related to measuring the accuracy
of Census counts, sometimes called Census coverage. Some of the key terminology
is also discussed in this Chapter along with a description of the intended audience for
this publication. The contents of the publication are described Chapter by Chapter.
