Aims of 2010 Census

• Have a very good account of the population and
  the dwellings
• Knowing the distribution by sex, age and in the
  territory of the population
• Pick up the main characteristics of the
  population and their dwellings for assessment and
  implementation of adjustment policies
• To maintain national and international comparison
  of information as far as possible.
• To provide inputs for the development of sample
  frameworks where the household surveys will be
  carried out.
• To provide inputs for the population projections.
• To construct the National Inventory of Dwellings.

3
Goals

• To carry out a thoroughly enumeration of
  population and the existing dwellings in the
  country.
• Delve into some of the topics of interest through
  a sample.
• To obtain top quality information.
• Delivery of preliminar results by November 25,
  2010.
• Delivery of results in less than 10 months March
  3, 2011.

4
Methodology basis

• De jure.
• Usual residents across the country and their
  dwellings.
• Face-to-face personal interview using two types
  of census forms.
• The head of the household, either woman or man,
  his or her partner or resident of 15 years and
  over.
• June 12, 2010.
• May 31 to June 25, 2010.

Mexico context

• Mexico is a country with
• high emigration to the United States until 2007.
• Return Migration from 2008.
• Fertility rate that has stagnated in recent
  years.
• It has a high concentration of population in
  large cities (66 live in 59 metropolitan areas).
• It also has a large dispersion for 23.2 of the
  population lives in 189, 000 localities of less
  than 2500 inhabitants.

6
Mexico context

• Mexico is a country with
• There are about 9 of dwellings with irregular
  possession and usually they are growths on the
  city outskirts and have high levels of exclusion.
• 14 of addresses recorded in the last census does
  not have a clear reference to a street name.
• In states such as Chiapas this situation is
  exacerbated by presenting a percentage of 40.
• Coupled with the absence of an outside number
  that identifies dwellings.

7
Broad strategies

• To combine a
• short-form 29 questions, 9 for the dwelling and
  20 for a person
• with a
• long-form 75 questions, 19 for the dwelling and
  the rest for a person.
• To only apply one census form in every dwelling.
• To update the whole country mapping in 2008, 2009
  and even during the information collection by
  satellite images and field paths.
• To delimit the responsibility areas according to
  the land characteristics, and the balance between
  the workloads and the control areas through a
  fully automated system.
• To develop 7 systems of computation, that
  permit to get control both the field as the
  control and capture of questionnaires

8
Broad strategies

• To use a building list for the field path and as
  a basis for the National Inventory of Dwelling.
• To verify the uninhabited and temporary use
  conditions of the constructed buildings intended
  for habitation and to obtain coverage indexes by
  the post-enumeration survey.
• Pick up a questionnaire on the characteristics in
  communities of less than 5 000 inhabitants
• Pick up a questionnaire on the characteristics of
  the urban environment on every block in the towns
  of 5 000 or more inhabitants

Geographical and Statistical Framework

• It is a single national system that allows
  georeferencing statistical information from
  censuses and surveys with corresponding
  geographic locations at different levels of
  disaggregation.

Field work strategies

• To identify and classify dwellings under the full
  coverage and top quality premises, with the
  following strategies
• Full canvass.
• Interviewer by geographic area.
• Census promoter in restricted-access areas.
• Teams in risk areas or dormitories.
• Self-enumeration.
• Call centers and Internet.
• Special operations
• Collective dwellings.
• Homeless population.
• People working in the Mexican Foreign Service.

11
Canvass field

• Upon receiving workload, the interviewer (he/she)
  must explore his/her area with the following
  objectives
• Ensure proper placement of the block that
  supervisor assigns to you, by checking the
  markings around the block with those indicated in
  the map.
• Detect and make mapping updates as required.
• Know the order, distribution and type of
  buildings within the block, in order to detect
  those who have more than one entry or access and
  thereby avoid duplication or realize about access
  restrictions during collection of the information.

12
Buildings register

• Once the canvass field has finished, the
  interviewer registers in the instrument called
  Building List all buildings in the block.
• In addition to dwelling and living quarters with
  activity the following were also listed
• Buildings constructed or adapted for human
  habitation, with or without usual residents.
• The buildings were not built for human habitation
  but had usual residents.
• The provisional shelters and facilities with
  usual residents.

13
How does address is register?
Aim for interviewer can identify all dwellings
within a block, he/she registers the address if
it exists, otherwise an enduring feature of the
dwelling.
14
Other data collected through the building list

• Besides dwellings the list included
• Questions to verify that the building was or was
  not a dwelling, and to identify dwellings within
  the same land.
• Building type control.
• Outcome control of the visit to the dwelling.
• Space to schedule appointments in dwellings.

15
Operational aspects

• The interviewer knocked on all buildings in
  her/his work area and when there was no proxy
  respondent
• He/she went with two neighbors to investigate if
  someone usually lived in the place and at what
  time the person was at home to return and conduct
  the interview.
• It was qualified as housing for temporary use if
  the neighbors indicated that it was inhabited few
  days or weeks a year.
• If the neighbors said that nobody lived in the
  place, it was identified as uninhabited dwelling.
• She/he observed the conditions of the buildings
  to identify those that were under construction or
  in ruins.
• The supervisor confirmed the status of the
  housing and stuck the uninhabited/temporary use
  tag.

16
Conclusions

• Due to the lack of clear addresses in the
  country, operation is controlled by the National
  Geographical and Statistical Framework.
• Addresses, if any, are used in the last stage to
  identify a dwelling within a block.
• In addition to list dwellings, the building list
  identifies all buildings in the block helping to
  a better housing enumeration.
• On the other hand, the control of the advance
  information is taken about the number of
  dwellings within the block, not by addresses.

Summary
In planning, areas are identified by geographical
and statistical framework
A canvass field is performed
Register of all buildings within the area
The building list is the basis for monitoring
progress on visits to dwelling
