Evaluations
The Census 2000 Testing, Experimentation, and Evaluation Program was coordinated by the Planning, Research, and Evaluation Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. All post-2000 programs will be coordinated by the Decennial Management Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. The program provides comprehensive information on Census 2000 evaluations, experiments and topic reports. It is designed to inform interested parties of Census 2000 results and inform 2010 Census planning.
