  1. The 2010 Local Update of Census Addresses Program Linda M. Franz Geography Division 2007 SDC/BIDC Mid-Year Meeting March 27, 2007

  2. LUCA Basics • Who can participate • The three LUCA Options • Treatment of non-city style addresses • The available LUCA tools • The LUCA schedule

  3. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • 10. “If the Census Bureau address list for my jurisdiction shows only non-city style addresses, all I can do is challenge block counts.” • It’s the type of addresses on the ground that matters • Providing missing city style addresses is the best way to improve address list coverage

  4. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “Because it sounds relatively easy, the block challenge option for LUCA is the one for me!” • Block challenges serve only to preserve appeal access for option 1 participants • Appeal process requires individual addresses (regardless of type) with structure locations

  5. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “Options 2 and 3 are easy! All I have to do is send my address list(s) to the Census Bureau.” • Addresses from multiple lists have to be unduplicated • Addresses have to be geocoded to census tract/block

  6. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “I can use shapefiles from the Census Bureau even though I have no access to GIS expertise.” • Shapefiles are an industry standard for spatial data, but you need a GIS and some knowledge of how to manipulate spatial data to use them • Make friends with your GIS coordinator, and make sure they understand LUCA program requirements

  7. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “I can convey street and boundary updates to the Census Bureau by sending them a shapefile from my own GIS.” • For the Census Bureau to successfully process a shapefile, the participant needs to update the shapefile originally provided by the Census Bureau • Otherwise, participant spatial updates would require extensive Census Bureau review and resolution

  8. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “The Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS) ends global warming and reverses its effects!” • Intended as an easy-to-use desktop tool to make participation easier for users that aren’t GIS experts • Offers advantages even to GIS-savvy participants

  14. MAF/TIGER Partnership Software • Allows user to bring in and display other tabular and spatial files • Many timesaving features for sorting lists and copying address fields to save keying • Simplifies Census Bureau processing of LUCA submissions, and in some cases will be preferable to shapefile submission for participants

  15. MAF/TIGER Partnership Software • MTPS does not itself perform geocoding or address matching • Doesn’t run on 64-bit machines • Doesn’t currently run on Vista • Doesn’t currently support address list creation for Option 2 and 3 participants

  16. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “If my jurisdiction is encompassed by a federally-recognized American Indian reservation, I can’t participate in LUCA.” • Census Bureau encouraging collaboration/delegation by Federally-recognized tribes • Option 3 participation available for governments with city style address lists

  17. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • “It’s a good idea to wait until the end of the review period to make my LUCA submission—that way I can provide more addresses.” • Census Bureau will process all timely LUCA submissions that meet stated requirements • Late submissions have less opportunity for problems to be resolved

  18. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • After my classroom LUCA training is over, I guess I’m on my own.” • MTPS computer-based training • LUCA computer-based training • LUCA 1-800 number • Geographic Partnerships Technical Help Desk 1-800

  19. The Top Ten Misconceptions about the 2010 LUCA Program!! • This sounds like too much trouble! Participating in LUCA can’t possibly be worth it.” • Address list coverage is critical to complete enumeration • Stakes are high-- following Census 2000, $388 million in federal grants shifted to states with the biggest estimated population increases based on the census
