In November 2023, over 91 percent of the African American digital population accessed emails. By comparison, approximately 93.8 percent of the white population had access and used this form of online communication, while 93.7 percent of Asian Americans in the country did the same as of the last measured period.

In November 2023, 95 percent of internet users aged between 25 and 44 years in the United States reported using emails. Email usage interested over 93 percent of the country's population aged between 15 and 24 years, while around 86.5 percent of internet users aged 65 and above reported using this communication method.

Abstract

The 2011 Population and Housing Census of Samoa was taken on the midnight of November the 7th 2011. It counted every person in the country on that night and collected a wide range of social, economic and demographic information about each individual and their housing status.

The information were used to develop statistical indicators to support national plannning and policy-making and also to monitor MDG indicators and all other related conventions. This included population growth rates, educational attainment, employment rates, fertility rates, mortality rates, internal movements, household access to water supply, electricity, sanitation, and many other information. The full report is available at SBS website: http://www.sbs.gov.ws under the section on Population statistics and demography.

The PHC 2011 covered all de facto household members, institutional households such as boarding schools, hospitals, prison inmates and expatriates residing in Samoa for more than 3 months. The PHC excluded all tourists visiting Samoa during the enumeration period and all Samoans residing overseas.

Kind of data

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure

Not applicable to a complete enumeration census.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

Users' consultation seminars were conducted for three consecutive days (June 8th -10th, 2010) with financial support provided by the office of UNFPA in Suva via the Samoa Parliamentary Group for Population Development (SPGPD) annual programs. For the first time in census history, the SPGPD or members of parliament have become the target group of users to get involved in any census questionnaire consultations.

All government ministries and non-governmental organizations were invited to the consultation seminars and each was asked to make a presentation of data needs for consideration in the final census 2011 questionnaire. To avoid re-inventing the wheel in the compilation of the list of census questions for census 2011, the questionnaire from the census 2006 was reprinted and distributed to all participants and presenters to select questions that they would consider again for the census 2011 in addition to their new data needs. Users were also advised that any new question would need good justifications of how it links to national interests.

At the end of the three days seminar, all new questions were compiled for final selection by Samoa Bureau of Statistics. Not all the users' data needs have been included in the final 2011 census questionnaire due mainly to the cost involved and limited time for census enumeration. Therefore, the final selection of questions was purely based on the linkage of the data being requested to the list of statistical indicators in the 'Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2008-2012' (SDS) and the 'Millennium Development Goals' (MDGs) 2015. All data requests outside of the two frameworks were put aside to be integrated in other more appropriate survey activities by the bureau.

From July 2010-December 2010, the questionnaire was formatted using the In-Design CS4 software. It is important to note that the PHC 2011 was the first ever census using the scanning technology to process data from the census questionnaires as a replacement of the usual manual data entry process. The scanning was pilot tested in April 2011, before it was finally used for final census enumeration.

The questionnaire was designed using A3 paper size.

The Population questionnaire was administered in each household, which collected various information on household members including age, sex, citizenship, disability, orphanhood, marital status, residence (birth, usual, previous), religion, education and employment.

In the Population questionnaire, a special section was administered in each household for women age 15-49, which also asked information on their children ever born still living, died or living somewhere else. Mothers of children under one year were also asked whether their last born children were still living at the time of the census.

The Housing questionnaire was also administered in each household which collected information on the types of building the household lived, floor materials, wall materials, roof materials, land tenure, house tenure, water supply, drinking water, lighting, cooking fuel, toilet facility, telephone, computer, internet, refrigerator, radio, television and others.

Cleaning operations

Data editing was done in several stages. 1. Office manual editing and coding 2. Automatic scanning data entry edits 3. Visual verification questionnaire edits 3. Structure checking and completeness 4. Structure checks of the CSPro data files Editing program can be enquired at the Division of IT and Data Processing at email address: info.stats@sbs.gov.ws

Sampling error estimates

The census is a full-coverage of the population, therefore it is not a sample where sampling errors can be estimated.

Data appraisal

There was no post-enumeration in the census 2011. One of the normal practices by the bureau to validate the total population counts from all villages, districts and regions of Samoa in any census is the manual count of the population in all areas during the on-going census enumeration.That information is collected by the enumerators and field supervisors during the enumeration using the Enumerators and Supervisors control forms. At the end of the enumeration, the control forms which mainly contained the number of males and females per enumeration area will be collected and compiled by the Census and Survey division as the first preliminary count of the census. In the census 2011, the preliminary population counts were compiled and launched as the 'Village Directory 2011' report after 4 weeks from end of the enumeration period.

The significance of the Village Directory report is it helps to provide a qiuick overall picture of the population growth and population distribution in all villages of the country relative to previous censuses. Most important of all is that the preliminary count will provide the basis for a decision whether a post-enumeration is warrant or otherwise. If the preliminary country is close to the projected population then the post-enumeration is assumed not worth the cost because it is expensive and it will delay all other census processes. In the census 2011, the preliminary count arrived at 186,340 which was more than the projected population of 184,032 as depicted in the Statistical Abstract 2009. Therefore the decision was made that post-enumeration was not worth it.

To rapidly monitor recent changes in the use of telemedicine, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA MCHB) partnered with the Census Bureau on an experimental data system called the Household Pulse Survey. This 20-minute online survey was designed to complement the ability of the federal statistical system to rapidly respond and provide relevant information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.

The U.S. Census Bureau, in collaboration with five federal agencies, launched the Household Pulse Survey to produce data on the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on American households. The Household Pulse Survey was designed to gauge the impact of the pandemic on employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and dimensions of physical and mental wellness.

The survey was designed to meet the goal of accurate and timely estimates. It was conducted by an internet questionnaire, with invitations to participate sent by email and text message. The sample frame is the Census Bureau Master Address File Data. Housing units linked to one or more email addresses or cell phone numbers were randomly selected to participate, and one respondent from each housing unit was selected to respond for him or herself. Estimates are weighted to adjust for nonresponse and to match Census Bureau estimates of the population by age, sex, race and ethnicity, and educational attainment. All estimates shown meet the NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.
