Estimating the Potential Effects of Adding a Citizenship Question to the 2020 Census

Brown, J. David; Heggeness, Misty L.; Dorinski, Suzanne M. - 2019

The self-response rate is a key driver of the cost and quality of a census. The addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census could affect the self-response rate. We predict the effect of the addition of a citizenship question on self-response by comparing mail response rates in the 2010...
