新一轮人口普查正在2010-11年在国际上进行，因为实现高覆盖率面临着越来越多的挑战。人口普查非常重要，因为规划和分析的范围很广，这取决于普查结果的准确性。尽管努力评估质量并进行更正，但仍有证据表明，公布的估计数字中没有人口。本文使用基于行政管理的数据来源来评估2001年英格兰和威尔士人口普查中可能存在的不足，特别是试图了解人口普查和其他来源之间的差异。它提供了强烈的社会和空间集中的新证据，其中只有部分通过人口普查的官方调整得到了解决。重要的是，在使用已公布的小区域数据进行实质性研究时考虑到这些问题，并使2010-11年人口普查的用户和审查者更清楚地了解基本程序。
A new round of censuses is being held internationally in 2010–11 in the face of increasing challenges to the achievement of high coverage rates. Censuses are of enormous importance due to the extensive range of planning and analysis which is dependent on the accuracy of their results. Despite efforts to assess quality and make corrections, there is still evidence of population missing from published estimates. This paper uses administratively based data sources to assess probable undercount in the 2001 Census of England and Wales, specifically seeking to understand the differences between the census and alternative sources. It presents new evidence of strong social and spatial concentrations, only some of which have been addressed by official adjustments to the census. It is important both that these issues are taken into account in substantive research using published small area data and that the underlying processes are much more clearly understood by users and reviewers of the 2010–11 round of censuses.
