on the 2000 census, it included an internet response option, the 2010 census did not. meanwhile the cost has escalated. why in the decade of the internet revolution did the census not contain that action? >> this decision was made in the middle of the decade, and the reasons i have been told that led to that decision were concerns about security. at this point, those are not valid. we are doing large numbers of sample surveys. we have conquered the it challenges on the prices successfully. we can do this. we are doing it, we can do it. i am sorry, sorry. >> i'm reading about in the order of the questions they gave me here. on that note, i am all done. >> why don't you jump in here? recalling a time. >> i want to say publicly how enthuse the hand that we have very super competent leadership here. i have great faith in dr. groves. i am one of your big backers. i told you that in your office and i like the top to have done in the people that help to accomplish that. how much do we spend on the american community survey every year? >> roughly $200 million. >> do you have pl

the decennial census. adjust to understand i speak on the panel's behalf, the national academies behalf when commenting on the panels and term report, but particularly when answering any questions you may have my opinions are strictly my on and should not be construed as formal guidance from the panel or the academies. the panel reviewed the 2010 census charged with providing an independent evaluation of the 2010 census with an eye toward suggesting research and development for more cost-effective 2020 census. in support of that work the panel held five public meetings during the first year of operation. many of our panel's impressions were formed to the extensive series of 58 site visits conducted during 2010 to local offices, regional census centers, data capture sites, and other census support facilities. our panel is not yet in a position to provide a thorough evaluation of the 2010 census. much remains to be learned from the bureau's census coverage measurement system and its procedural evaluations. i

we are attempting to design a 2020 census that costs lest per housing unit than the 2010 census while maintaining the quality of the results. lesson two, the traditional non-response follow up procedures we have used over past decades are inefficient and costly. we want to make the census convenient to diverse groups using multiple modes of data collection. this means the traditional mail, but also phone, multiple internet options, face to face and other options as they emerge. three, we need end to end tests of production systems ideally within real survey production environments. lesson four, too few of the system and development and procedure developments of the 2010 census were designed to benefit the entire institution. thus the fourth principle is that we want to develop systems within the survey production environments of the census bureau. we plan to use the american community survey as a chief test bed for the 2020 census system's development. let me skip to lesson six. we have concluded that a small number of large test censuses create intolerable risks for the census bureau

on the census bureau has the formal valuations on the 2010 census, the second complete, but if information can share on quality indicators. my testimony and written form is really in three pieces. evaluation of the senses. our organizational change and others at the census bureau and lessons learned. i'm going to concentrate on the third part. but i cannot bet the preliminary findings on the quality of the 2010 census are positive and the majority and show improvements over the 2000 after. i'd be happy to expand on that. i want the committee to do with also been engaged in a variety of initiatives that we care deeply about. we have basically concluded that her business model of collecting social and economic data faces of your challenges over the long run. we know we must innovate in order to remain useful and relevant to the country. further, we know that this innovation is not likely to be funded by added resources. we must become more efficient and fun innovations from cost saving measures and that's what these programs are about. i want to mention three and specifically first we've mou

the information policy center could not do its work without the census data. the work that we have done has been able to help document impact of latinos, asians, other immigrant groups in other states, what would happen if those folks were not there. if people do not participate, then all the great work they do, all the ways they contribute to the community are not going to be counted. nellie is right. it is about proving that these are communities that matter. >> if i could add, i think it is imperative for everyone to participate in the census. the census is constitutionally mandated. it is to get a picture of who our country is, who makes up our country, and that makes everyone. i think the recent proposed amendment in the senate -- which i have to say, and i want to say, it was soundly defeated -- the status requirement was just a way to intimidate. we should not be calling for it. i do not believe in a boycott on the census. the census count determines how many congressional representatives there are. it is used to figure out funding for counties. sometime

this is a follow-up to the census which is the best way that i can do it. there was a discussion about here in the commission regarding the number of residential vacancies in the city. i purposely have not filled out the 28 pages. i will do this, essentially. however, i wanted to show it to you so that you will see there is absolutely nothing in this addition that even smacks of any statistical information regarding vacancies. i will start it down and this then and pass it through and then i will fill it through. i thought you would be interested in the fallout. -- i will start it down and then fill this in and pass it through. >> i met with representatives of treasure island. on monday, i met with representatives from at&t. there was interesting discussions. i also wanted to thank the staff particularly for a very good summary of the census. it is interesting to me that we have seen similar movements as we saw generations ago with different ethnic groups moving from the inner city to the outer parts of san francisco which is what we would expect. as people

the census. maybe there'll be some questions about an advance so she does not have to come here without that information. as commissioner moore mentioned, the vacancy rate, that would be an interesting thing to have. i would also like to discuss the shift in demographics in areas like south of market and some of those districts. i always think in terms of electoral districts. district 6 and district 9, particularly. those are the main things i wanted to follow-up on. we should look at the calendar because we're starting a little bit behind on some of these hearings. after may, we should start scheduling some of these policy discussions here. like the formula of retail, the census, these other meetings are more community meetings with staff. in the past, we have mentioned tourism and there are other ones we could catch, start catching up on. i was interested in this twitter discussion. it led me to think a little bit about manufacturing and some of these artists and type businesses we're seeing --

. >> i was going to suggest that maybe we have a discussion on the census results that after our calendar is cleared. this would be june or july. a lot of those people have migrated into the tenderloin. we have seen an increase in some immigrant families in those districts as well. i think it will be really good to have a discussion about all of that. this is kind of interesting. manufacturing is interesting when you see them talking about the twitter deal. it might be interesting at some point to look at just the economy in san francisco where the jobs are that people are doing. there has been a different tors of different types of manufacturing. they will look at places where certain breweries and stuff, there are other types of manufacturing that has taken place on a smaller scale. later on, maybe we can look at that, where some of the jobs are. also, speaking of tourism and what draws people to san francisco. years ago, it was easy to see life music here in the city and it seems to be like dwindling on some levels. you used to be able to go to paradise lounge and see poetry. if you ar

in terms of the census it's not something that i wound up writing about. in the book that i was originally was going to write, it was something that i was going to spend a little bit of time and how people identified themselves and how that has changed over time in an official construct in terms of -- you know, how the government actually identifies people or allows people who identified themselves. i ended up not writing about that. but i find myself swimming in that conversation to some degree based on the race cards. because so many of the race cards come back, deal with questions of identity and deal with the sort of internal dialog that people have with themselves in trying to figure out how they identified themselves or how they should identify many other members of the family. some of the submissions come from people who are raising children who don't look like them. or who have grandchildren who represent a rainbow or, you know, come from a sort of wider diaspo diaspora. and i try to set aside time if i actually have information and how to reach som

the census numbers are out there. they are verifiable but how accurately they reflect the population we don't really know. but the census numbers show that the relative number of african-americans in washington decrease between 1850 and 1860, and i've i sought that the reason for that was that there were free black people leaving and going north. so basically what you have by the evil of the civil war is a proportion of population that is smaller than it has been in the past. then it goes back up to one third during the war ended stays at about one third for the rest of the 19th century. a proportion of the population, smaller than in the past, and also equally proportionately free or a little bit more free.

but the census numbers show the relative number of african-americans in washington, d.c. decreased to a meeting 50 and 1816 bible was the reason for that was people just leaving, free black people leaving and going north. so, basically what you have by the eve of the civil war is a population smaller than it's been in the past, then goes back up to one-third during the war and stays about one-third for the rest of the 19th century. a proportion of the population smaller than it's been in the past and also equally proportionately freed or a little bit more free than it's been in the past. >> [inaudible] do you have an explanation of why? second, what were some of the surprises in your research -- >> why have historians basically ignored this reversal reconstruction in washington and then simply deily to supplement its -- talk about your surprises. >> to use a rehearsal or reversal? >> rehearsal, i'm sorry. >> i wasn't quite sure. there's a famous book of rehearsals which is about the south carolina experiment which happens during the civil war, and for a while i was thinki

wide, from 20 per 100,000 in some neighborhoods, to 500 per 100,000 in others. 20% of the variation between census tract collisions can be explained by differences in traffic volume. 13% in differences of the employee population. 10% by never commercial zoning. 10% are cheerless streets. 9% by residential population differences. 7% by residential neighborhood commercial zoning. 7% by land area. 5% by poverty. 5% by age. so traffic volume and population factors are the dominant root causes. we are not proposing to reduce the population. i think the modifiable thing here is we can reduce flow, do things that reduce the flow of traffic where people are. for soma, the implications of this, they are obvious. this is the city's -- these are the major thoroughfares through the city. soma is basically deliver the cars to and from the city from the freeway. i think to a lesser extent, many of the streets in the central downtown area are doing the same. these are the highest volume streets. it is no surprise we see the most collisions between pedestrians and cars on these streets. these are densely populate

company has control of homeland security information systems, our postal information systems, um, the census, there seems to be absolutely no concern among our congressional representatives about the need for checks and balances. >> i think that's right. you know, when i did the book, i was surprised myself at how many different aspects of our lives the company's involved in. and i think, you know, there was a period where privatization was all the rage, and it was felt that private companies could do things more efficiently and effectively. that's hard to see how you're going to get that result from a company that's had huge cost overruns in their defense business, and it's been a mixed result in terms of performance. in terms of the reach of the companies, i think a lot of times we don't even keep people in government who have the technical exper teas to monitor some of the things these companies are doing. so i think there's got to be some taking back of competence in the government if we're going to be able to ride hurt on these companies. i think at the moment it doesn't exist. if you h

because the census is the one that develops government. early -- or race.arly in the 20th century, indians were actually called hindus, according to the census. jews were called hebrews, according to the census. mexicans were once enumerated separately. so i think with respect to your question -- i'm just giving this, rry, abstract response to it. but to the extent that we can think about citizenship as qualities -- desirable qualities for membership in a political community, i think what we would hope is they would not be race-based. that would be a sharp diversion from what the united states has done throughout its entire history. >> you know what, that was a nderful answer. but i lost focus, and i think that your question was suggesting that we do more to include people who are now here without documentation, illegal immigrants, as citizens with voting rights? was that your point? >> well, clearly, in order to participate in the electoral process, that requires citizenship. so voting is -- within that question. but i think also, this whole discussion of
