作者概述了美国人口普查局统计该国人口的过程。他回顾了当前评估或调整人口普查结果的两种技术：使用行政记录进行替代人口估计，以及使用独立抽样调查的数据进行捕获-再捕获方法。作者的结论是，人口普查非常准确，几乎没有确凿的证据表明当前的调整方法会提高人口普查结果的准确性，而且“目前的技术水平可能无法支持对 1990 年人口普查的调整”。
The author outlines the process by which the U.S. Census Bureau counts the countrys population. He reviews two current techniques for evaluating or adjusting census results the use of administrative records to make alternative population estimates and capture-recapture methods using data from an independent sample survey. The author concludes that the census is remarkably accurate that there is little hard evidence that current adjustment methodologies would improve the accuracy of the census results and that "the present state of the art probably cannot support adjustment of the 1990 census."
