Abstract
The creation of the independent and sovereign nation of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) under the Compact of Free Association with the United States caused a growing need for social and economic development planning. Consequently, as in many developing countries, administrators and planners in the FSM, in their quest for social and economic development often contend with incomplete or unavailable information when it is needed.
The 1994 and 2000 FSM Censuses were thus conducted as part of the overall effort to provide current and updated information required for planning and administrative purposes. This report presents basic analysis of the 2000 FSM Census data, including comparison against the 1994 FSM Census.

Data Processing
Cleaning Operations
The census questionnaires were edited and coded. The Preliminary data editing and coding operation were initiated and completed at the state Branch Statistics Offices. Preliminary tables were compiled and disseminated from this operation. The questionnaires were then reviewed (for processability), coded, keyed, and verified for further analysis. Following the verification of the keyed data, specifications and programs were developed for data cleaning. The US Bureau of the Census (USBC) assisted the national and state staff in carrying out the data cleaning and programming activities in Washington D.C. The software used in data cleaning, processing, and table production was the Integrated Micro-computers Processing System (IMPS).
Other Processing
