Utah v. Evans
Court Cases
In this case, filed in March 2002, plaintiffs challenged the U.S. Census Bureau’s use of “imputation,” a procedure whereby information about one household is imputed to a nearby and similar household for which the information is not directly available. The Center’s amicus brief argued that imputation is a means to improve the accuracy of the census. The Supreme Court upheld the procedure in June 2002.
