When the intercensal estimates for the seventies were evaluated in the light of the 1980 Census, it turned out that they had become progressively more severe underestimates as the decade progressed. The FBI is only able to adjust the VCR retrospectively after a decennial Census to correct for the errors in the intercensal estimates it has used. There is a substantial effect on the VCR change measures in the year immediately following the decennial census as the VCR population figures successively 36 2.
The sampling frame of the NCS is, like the population base of the VCR, the resident population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. S. 1 for the adjustment of the VCR base to the population 12+. The change observed here is due to the fact that we have doubled the number of years in the trend and that the rate of increase in the 12+ population slowed in the 1980s.
