Complete and Accurate U.S. Census is the Goal for 2020Thursday, September 20th, 2018While it’s still early for most of us to be thinking about the 2020 Census, it is not too early for the U.S. Census and most technology providers of Census software to be considering how to prepare.
Michael Ratcliffe, Asst. Division Chief, Geographic Standards, Criteria, Research, and Quality, Geography Division, US Census Bureau, spoke with GISCafe Voice about what the 2020 Census requires, and the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA). With regard to the 2020 Census, an accurate address file for each state is essential, otherwise each state could lose millions of dollars in federal funding. It can also affect state budget obviously, and number of seats in Congress (determined by count). What are ways the Census can ensure everyone gets counted in 2020?
What are any new requirements for the 2020 LUCA program for identifying individuals and how do they contrast with past requirements? Will townships, tribes, cities and counties submit their Census figures to the state or submit them independently?
Will citizenship status be included in this collection?
