The Local Update of Census Addresses program, also known as LUCA, is a decennial census geographic partnership program that will allow the Census Bureau to benefit from local knowledge in developing its Master Address File (MAF) for the 2010 Census. Tribal, state, and local governments can contribute to a more complete and accurate census for their community by reviewing and commenting on the list of housing unit and group quarters addresses that the Census Bureau will use to deliver questionnaires within their community.
The 2010 Census New Construction program will help ensure that the U.S. Census Bureau’s address list is as complete and accurate as possible by Census Day, April 1, 2010. The Census Bureau is updating its address list by field canvassing all blocks in the spring/summer of 2009. The New Construction program is the opportunity for Tribal and Local governments to submit city style mailing addresses for units constructed after the address canvassing operation. Addresses must have basic construction (closing the structure to the elements) completed by Census Day.
