The 2010 Census Coverage Measurement (CCM) Independent Listing Operation will be conducted in the U.S. (excluding remote Alaska) and in Puerto Rico in select CCM sampled areas. As in the past, the CCM operations and activities will be conducted separate from and independent of the 2010 Census operations. CCM will be conducted to provide estimates of net coverage error and coverage error components (omissions and erroneous enumerations) for housing units and persons in housing units to improve future censuses.
