Abstract:

This report presents the findings and recommendations of a panel of transportation planning experts on a possible replacement data-collection system for the decennial census. Under this new system, 'Continuous Measurement', the detailed social, economic, and housing information, including journey-to-work data, traditionally collected decennially with the long-form questionnaire on a sample basis, would instead be obtained by an ongoing, 'continuous' monthly survey. The census would obtain only population and housing unit counts and a few basic characteristics.
