The 2010 Decennial Census Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA)
Program
The Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program is an integral part of
the 2010 Census activities that utilizes the expertise of tribal, state, and local
governments to improve the accuracy and completeness of the address list
used to take the census.
The Census Bureau invited the highest elected official of your jurisdiction to
participate in this program. Your jurisdiction selected Option 1, Title 13 Full
Address List Review in paper format. This option allows you to:
•
Review the Census Bureau’s Address List for your jurisdiction.
•
Comment on any single or multi-unit structure or group quarters 1 citystyle 2 address in a census block on the Address List using correct,
delete, not in jurisdiction, or nonresidential action codes.
•
Add single, multi-unit structure, or group quarters city-style addresses
not found on the Address List to the Address List Add Page.
•
Challenge the count of addresses for a census block on the Address
Count List.
1
Group quarters are places where people live or stay that are normally owned or managed by an entity or
organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. See Chapter 2 for a complete definition.
2
The term city-style address is defined as an address that consists of a house number and street or road name, for
example, 201 Main Street. However, the address may or may not be used for the delivery of mail, and may include
apartment numbers/designations or similar identifiers. See Chapter 2 for a complete definition.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the 2010 Decennial Census
Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program
o
For census blocks containing all noncity-style 3 addresses, you can
only challenge the count of addresses for those blocks. You
cannot comment on individual noncity-style addresses.
Note: For census blocks with a mix of city-style and noncity-style
addresses, you may comment on individual city-style addresses or
challenge the count of addresses for the census block, but not do
both within the same block. However, it is to your benefit and the
Census Bureau’s that you provide city-style address updates
wherever applicable, rather than challenging the count of
addresses in a census block.
•
Identify any additions, deletions, or corrections to the location and/or
name of roads or other physical features and/or boundaries on the
Census Bureau paper maps or submit an updated version of the digital
map file (shapefile) provided by the Census Bureau.
Background
The Census Address List Improvement Act
The Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-430)
strengthened the Census Bureau’s partnership capabilities with tribal, state,
and local governments by expanding the methods the Census Bureau could use
to exchange address information. Designed to improve the accuracy of the
Census Bureau’s address list, the Act authorized the Census Bureau to provide
individual addresses to officials of tribal, state, and local governments who
agreed to conditions of confidentiality. Census 2000 marked the first
decennial census for which the Census Bureau could provide its address list
for review to governments that signed the required confidentiality agreement.
(See Appendix A for the terms of the LUCA Program Confidentiality and
Security Guidelines.)
The Census Bureau’s Master Address File (MAF)
In preparation for Census 2000, the Census Bureau created the Master Address
File (MAF) by merging the 1990 Address Control File 4 with the latest version
of the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) Delivery Sequence File 5 (DSF). The
MAF is a nationwide database of all addresses used to support many of the
3
The term noncity-style address is defined as a mailing address that does not use a house number and street or road
name. This includes rural routes and highway contract routes, which may include a box number, post office drawers,
or general delivery. See Chapter 2 for a complete definition.
4
The 1990 residential address list used to label questionnaires, control the mail response check-in operation, and
determine the nonresponse follow-up workload.
5
A computerized file containing all delivery point addresses serviced by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The USPS
updates the DSF continuously as its letter carriers identify addresses for new delivery points or changes in the status of
existing addresses.
2
Chapter 1: Introduction to the 2010 Decennial Census
Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program
Census Bureau’s operations. Besides containing mailing addresses and ZIP
Codes, an address record in the MAF also contains geographic information
about the location of addresses. In areas where there are noncity-style
addresses (e.g., rural route or post office box number), the address record may
contain additional information such as a location description.
The Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER®) Database
Address records in the MAF are linked to feature segments in the
Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER®)
database. The TIGER® database includes the geographic coordinates and
names of all streets, water features, and other linear features, and boundaries
for all jurisdictions and statistical areas (census tracts6, census blocks 7, etc.)
used to tabulate decennial census data. The TIGER® database also includes
address ranges 8 along streets that have city-style addresses and the hierarchy
of census geographic area codes from the state level down to individual census
blocks (http://www.census.gov/geo/www/geodiagram.html). By linking
address records in the MAF to the TIGER® database, the Census Bureau is
able to identify street segments along which an individual address exists and
determine the geographic code that applies to that address.
The Census Bureau’s Geography Division regularly updates the MAF/TIGER
database from various sources. In addition to the USPS DSF, other sources of
updates include current household surveys, special censuses, and local sources.
LUCA Program Responsibilities
Census Bureau’s LUCA Program Responsibilities
The Census Bureau’s LUCA program responsibilities include:
•
Provide training to LUCA Program participants.
•
Provide the necessary materials to participants.
•

6
A census tract is a small, relatively permanent statistical division of a county or statistically equivalent entity,
delineated for the purpose of presenting Census Bureau statistical data.
7
A census block is a geographic area bounded by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks,
and invisible features, such as the boundaries of governmental units and other legal entities. Census blocks are the
smallest area for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates statistical information.
8
Address ranges are the lowest and highest address numbers used to identify structures along each side of a street
segment that has city-style addresses. Usually one side of the street has even address numbers and the other side has
odd address numbers.

and recommended strategies for your LUCA review. Refer to the Glossary or
visit the Census Bureau’s Web site at http://www.census.gov for additional
terms and definitions.
What is a Housing Unit?
A single-family house, townhouse, mobile home, trailer, apartment, group of
rooms, or a single room occupied as a separate living quarters or, if vacant,
intended for occupancy as a separate living quarters. A separate living
quarters is one in which one or more occupants (or intended occupants, if
vacant) live separate from any other individual(s) in the building and have
direct access to the living quarters without going through another living
quarters, such as from outside the building or through a common hall.
The following types of housing units are acceptable and should be included on
the Address List:
•
•
•
•
Houses, including townhouses, condominiums, and apartments.
Living quarters within an otherwise nonresidential structure such as an
apartment within a church, school, or business.
Mobile homes or trailers occupied as separate living quarters, or if
vacant, intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.
Any housing units under construction that will be habitable (closed to
the elements with final roof, windows, and doors) on Census Day,
April 1, 2010.
7
Chapter 2: Before You Begin Your Review
What are Group Quarters?
A place where people live or stay, in a group living arrangement, that is
owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or
services for the residents. This is not a typical household-type living
arrangement. These services may include custodial or medical care as well
as other types of assistance, and residency is commonly restricted to those
receiving these services. People living in group quarters are usually not
related to each other.
The following types of group quarters are acceptable and should be included
on the Address List:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Correctional facilities.
Juvenile facilities.
Nursing homes.
Hospitals with long-term care facilities.
College or university dormitories, fraternities, sororities.
Dormitories for workers.
Religious group quarters.
Shelters.
Group homes.
Any group quarters under construction that will be habitable (closed to
the elements with final roof, windows, and doors) on Census Day,
April 1, 2010.
Note: Housing units and group quarters can exist within the same structure.
Unacceptable Types of Housing Units and Group Quarters
Exclude the following unacceptable types of housing units and group quarters
addresses from your address list. Housing units and group quarters that are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
8
Condemned or scheduled for demolition.
Being converted or remodeled for nonresidential purposes.
Used solely for nonresidential storage.

Chapter 2: Before You Begin Your Review
Census Bureau Addresses
Residential and Nonresidential Addresses
The Census Bureau divides all addresses in two use types, residential and
nonresidential. Residential addresses are addresses of housing units and/or
group quarters where one or more people could live. Nonresidential addresses
are addresses of a structure or unit within a structure that do not serve as a
residence, such as commercial establishments, schools, government offices,
and churches.
Some structures can contain both residential and nonresidential units, even
though they have a single address such as an apartment over a store or a home
with an office.
Address Formats
City-style Address Format
The majority of housing units and group quarters in the United States have
a house number and street name address, for example, 212 Elm Street or
137 Clark Ct., Apt. 316. In some instances, the house number may also
include an alpha character such as W9254 or include a designator such as
“garage” or “rear”. The Census Bureau refers to these as city-style
addresses. These addresses are used for mailing or to provide location for
emergency services, such as police, fire, and rescue (E-911 addresses).
City-style addresses for housing units in multi-unit structures, such as
apartment buildings, contain a unit designator, for example, Apt 101 or
Suite D (See Appendix D, Unit Designation Abbreviations). The Census
Bureau and the U.S. Postal Service treat these designators as part of the
housing unit address, and they are included in each affected census
address record.
Noncity-Style Address Format
The Census Bureau classifies addresses that do not include a house
number and/or a street name as noncity-style addresses. Noncity-style
addresses also may not include a complete house number and street name
address. The majority of noncity-style addresses are located in the more
sparsely settled areas of the United States; however, they may exist in
small or medium sized towns as well. Frequently used noncity-style
mailing addresses include:
•
•
•
General delivery.
Rural route and box number.
Highway contract route and box number.
9
Chapter 2: Before You Begin Your Review
•
Post Office box only delivery.
Noncity-style addresses often do not follow any numeric sequence, and
may not be associated with the name of the street or highway on which
they are located. For this reason, the Census Bureau uses different
methods to compile the list of addresses for inclusion into the Address
List, such as location descriptions (BRICK HSE w/ATTACHED
GARAGE ON RIGHT), structure points (geographic coordinates), and
census geographic codes (state code, county code, census tract number,
census block number).
Census Tract
Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a
county or statistically equivalent entity, delineated for presenting Census
Bureau statistical data.
The proposed criteria for Census tracts for the 2010 Census is that they
contain a minimum of 1200 people with an optimal population of 4000.
Census tract boundaries are delineated with the intention of being stable over
many decades, so they generally follow relatively permanent visible features.
However, they may follow governmental unit boundaries and other nonvisible features in some instances. Census tract boundaries never cross state
or county (or statistically equivalent entity) boundaries.
Each census tract is uniquely numbered within a county and contains
numerous census blocks. Census tract numbers contain up to a 4-digit
number followed by a decimal point and a 2-digit number for suffixed tracts,
e.g., 1234.01. For census tracts without a suffix, the number will contain a
period with zero fill, e.g., 4567.00. Leading zeros are not shown on Census
Bureau maps.
Census Block
A Census block is an area bounded by visible features such as streets, roads,
streams, and railroad tracks and non-visible features such as the boundaries of
governmental units and other legal entities. A block is the smallest
geographic area for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates statistical
data.
Census blocks may look like a city block or may be large and irregularly
shaped, depending upon features. The boundary of a state or a county is
always a block boundary.
Census blocks are numbered within census tracts and are unique to the census
tract to which they belong. Census block numbers contain a 4-digit number
10
Chapter 2: Before You Begin Your Review
plus a 1-digit alpha character, if applicable, e.g. 3001A. Suffixes, such as
2011A and 2011B, reflect boundary changes as well as added features.
Note: The 2010 Census LUCA Program addresses are coded to current
census block/geography.
What is Geocoding?
In order to process your address submissions, the Census Bureau requires the
inclusion of census geographic code information. This link to census
geography is referred to as geocoding. Geocoding places an individual
address in its correct geographic location, which includes the correct state,
county, census tract, and census block codes.
Because the Census Bureau counts people where they live, census geographic
code information or geocodes support the systematic collection of data that
allows Census enumerators to locate an address. They are also important in
allocating data from questionnaire responses to the correct location. You
must include census geographic code information for the Census Bureau to
process your address submissions. The Census Bureau will not accept
addresses without census geographic codes (geocodes) including the state,
county, census tract, and census block codes.
You can find these census geographic codes on your LUCA materials.
Strategies for Reviewing the Census Bureau’s Address List
When deciding how to conduct the LUCA program review for your
jurisdiction, consider your available time, the information you have readily
available, and the staff and computer resources you have. If resources are
limited, the Census Bureau recommends focusing on areas where addresses
are more likely to be missed or incorrect. For example:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Areas of new housing construction.
E-911 address conversion areas.
Areas that have changed from single-family homes to multi-family
homes and vice versa.
Warehouses that have been converted to residential lofts.
New mobile home parks or new scattered mobile homes.
Apartment buildings with irregular or missing numbering schemes for
the individual units.
Recently added territory.
Addresses near jurisdictional boundaries.

Chapter 2: Before You Begin Your Review
Local Address Sources
There are many possible sources of local address information. Some of these
sources may not match the Census Bureau’s Address List exactly, but they are
a good indication of where change is taking place and can help you identify
addresses that you need to add to the Address List. The following list
provides suggestions for local address source materials:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
12
New housing construction or building permits include units that are
under construction only if final roof, doors, and windows will be in
place on Census Day, April 1, 2010.
E-911 address files.
Housing occupancy permits.
Planning or zoning records.
Local utility records.
Drivers’ license files.
Annexation records.
Assessment or taxation files.
Voter registration files.

Introduction
Chapter 3 discusses protecting Census Bureau address information and
describes the Census Bureau’s Address List, Address List Add Page, Address
Count List, and the Census Bureau’s maps including paper maps and
shapefiles.
Protecting Census Bureau Address Information
The LUCA liaison accepts the responsibility for protecting and safeguarding
the confidential Census Bureau materials covered by Title 13, U.S.C. This
includes the Address List and any Census map(s) that show(s) housing units
and/or group quarters structure points. (Structure points will be displayed on
the address list and maps, where applicable, for the Feedback phase of the
program). The LUCA liaison must restrict access to confidential Census
address information to only those individuals who have signed the
Confidentiality Agreement. This includes all reviewers and anyone with
access to LUCA materials. (See Appendix A for the terms of the
Confidentiality and Security Guidelines.)
The Census Bureau’s Address List
Content of the Address List
The Census Bureau’s Address List contains all of the residential (city-style
and noncity-style) addresses known to the Census Bureau within your
jurisdiction. It also contains census geographic codes (state, county, census
tract, census block) that indicate the location of each address. Figure 3.1
displays an example of the Address List.
Heading Area
The top of each page of the paper Address List contains the program
name, Local Update of Census Addresses Program, the product type, date
the list was created, and page number.
13
Chapter 3: The LUCA Program Materials
The Address List is sorted by either Census Tract Number/Block
Number/Street Name/House Number or Street Name/House Number,
depending upon the sort selection you chose when you registered.
The entity section contains your entity name and unique Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code:
•
The numeric portion of your entity identification code is of
variable length, depending on your entity type:
o State is 4 characters = ST (2 alpha) + (2 numeric):
• ST36
o County is 7 characters = CO (2 alpha) + State (2 numeric) +
County (3 numeric):
CO36123
o Place is 9 characters = PL (2 alpha) + State (2 numeric) + Place
(5 numeric):
PL3612345
o Minor Civil Division (MCD) is 10 characters = MC (2 alpha) +
State (2 numeric) + County (3 numeric) + MCD (5 numeric):
MC3612345678
Static Information

The Address Count List
The Address Count List contains the number of housing unit and group
quarters addresses on the Address List for each census block within your
jurisdiction. Use the Address Count List to identify inconsistencies between
the Census Bureau’s housing unit and/or group quarters address counts and
your jurisdiction’s housing unit and/or group quarters address counts.
If a census block contains a mix of city-style and noncity-style addresses, you
can comment on the individual city-style addresses on the Address List or
challenge the count of addresses for the entire census block on the Address
Count List, but you cannot do both within the same block.
If your local address list and the Census Bureau’s Address List contain only
noncity-style addresses for a census block, you can challenge the count of
addresses for that block only if a discrepancy exists.
Note: It is to your benefit and the Census Bureau’s that you provide citystyle address updates wherever applicable, rather than challenging the
count of addresses in a census block.
The Address Count List contains two sections of six columns each. In the
example, Figure 3.3, there are 35 census blocks listed containing 944 Housing
Unit Addresses and 22 Group Quarters addresses.
Content of the Address List Add Page

The Census Bureau Map
The Census Bureau provides you with one set of paper maps or shapefiles as a
reference for locating individual addresses. If you selected to receive paper
maps, The Map Sheet to Block Number Relationship List lists all of the
census blocks within your jurisdiction and identifies the map sheet(s) on
which each census block is located. If you selected shapefiles, the tabblock
shapefile contains the census block boundaries and block numbers for your
jurisdiction.
Reading a Census Bureau Paper Map
There are three types of paper map sheets:
1. Index Sheets
2. Parent Sheets
3. Inset Sheets
Index Sheets – for reference (if more than one map sheet)
•
•
•
•
Cover the entire extent of your jurisdiction.
Divided into numbered grids.
Each numbered grid area corresponds to area covered by a
parent sheet.
Used with jurisdictions containing more than one parent sheet.
23
Chapter 3: The LUCA Program Materials
•
Index sheets are for reference; please do not make updates to
the index maps because the updates are difficult to incorporate
into our database due to the smaller scale.
Parent Sheets – for map updates
•
•
•
•
Detailed view of a section of your jurisdiction.

Shapefiles
Shapefiles require the use of GIS software. The Census Bureau provides
county-based shapefile layers in Environmental Systems Research Institute 10
(ESRI) shapefile format Participants that submit shapefiles with feature
updates must follow Census Bureau requirements.
10
All shapefiles provided by the Census Bureau are in Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) format. The
use of brand names does not represent an endorsement of a company or its products by the U.S. government. Due to
the wide use of ESRI products by our partners in the GIS community, and ubiquitous use of the shapefile format as a
medium for GIS data exchange, the Census Bureau provides data in shapefile format.
27
Chapter 3: The LUCA Program Materials
The shapefiles, created from the MAF/TIGER database, allow you to submit
map feature updates electronically. All linear features in the MAF/TIGER
database are contained in the edges shapefile. Use the edges shapefile to add,
delete, or change linear feature attributes.
In addition to an edges shapefile, the Census Bureau provides shapefile layers
for legal boundaries that you may edit. Refer to the Digital BAS Respondent
Guide included with your LUCA materials for boundary updates. For more
details on the contents of the shapefiles, view the readme.txt file that is
included in the CD-ROM containing your shapefiles. Refer to Chapter 6,
Shapefiles.
Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)
The Census Bureau conducts the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)
each year to determine the inventory of correct names, legal descriptions, and
legal boundaries of counties and equivalent entities, minor civil divisions,
incorporated places, federally recognized American Indian reservations, and
off-reservation trust lands. Title 13, U.S.C. authorizes this voluntary survey.
Specifically, the Census Bureau requests up-to-date boundary information for
local governments and information on the legal actions associated with the
changed boundaries. The Census Bureau enters all boundary and area
information obtained through the BAS into the TIGER® database so that all
subsequent map and Census address list products reflect these changes.
During your LUCA review, you may find that the boundary for your
jurisdiction does not depict the correct current location. You may use your
LUCA maps to provide updates to your legal boundaries.
If you register to participate in the LUCA program before October 31, 2007,
you will receive your 2008 BAS materials with your LUCA program
materials.
The BAS materials include the BAS User Guide for paper maps and a
Boundary and Annexation Survey form.
If you selected to receive shapefiles, a layer for legal boundaries is included
that you may edit. Refer to the Digital BAS Respondent Guide included with
the CD-ROM containing your shapefiles for instructions on making your
boundary edits.

1. Correcting a Street Name
The Census Bureau’s Address List and map incorrectly shows
Bryan St instead of Ryan St, the correct street name. See Figure
4.1, Correcting a Street Name on the Address List. The map also
does not list the alternate name for the street, which is County
Road 9 (Co Rd 9). See Figure 4.2, Correcting a Street Name on
the Paper Map.
Correcting the Address List:
30
•
Print a C in the Action Code column.
•
In the Street or Road Name column, cross out Bryan St. for
all of the affected addresses, and print Ryan St. above it.

CHAPTER 5
UPDATING THE ADDRESS COUNT LIST
Introduction
Updating the Address Count List
Introduction
The Address Count List contains the count of housing unit and group quarters
addresses on the Address List for each census block within your jurisdiction.
Use this list to challenge the count of addresses for any census block within
your jurisdiction that you believe to be incorrect.
Updating the Address Count List
If a census block contains a mix of city-style and noncity-style addresses, you
can comment on the individual city-style addresses on the Address List or
challenge the count of addresses for the entire census block on the Address
Count List, but you cannot do both within the same block.
If your address list and the Census Bureau’s Address List contain only
noncity-style addresses for a census block, you can challenge the count of
addresses for that block only if a discrepancy exists.
Note: It is to your benefit and the Census Bureau’s that you provide citystyle address updates wherever applicable, rather than challenging the
count of addresses in a census block.
If you selected to receive paper maps, The Map Sheet to Block Number
Relationship List lists all of the census blocks within your jurisdiction and
identifies the map sheet(s) on which each census block is located. If you
selected shapefiles, the tabblock shapefile contains the census block
boundaries and numbers for your jurisdiction.
Procedures for Updating the Address Count List
•
In the Local Count of Housing Unit Addresses column, record your
count of housing addresses, if different from the Census Bureau’s
count.
•
Record your count of group quarters addresses in the Local Count of
Group Quarters Addresses if different from the Census Bureau’s
count.
•
You do not have to provide your local totals.

SHAPEFILES
Shapefiles
Submitting Shapefile Feature Information
Metadata
Digital File Submission
Shapefiles
Shapefiles require the use of GIS software. The Census Bureau provides
county-based shapefile layers in Environmental Systems Research Institute 13
(ESRI) shapefile format. Participants that submit shapefiles with feature
updates must follow Census Bureau requirements.
The shapefiles, created from the MAF/TIGER database, allow you to submit
map feature updates electronically. All linear features in the MAF/TIGER
database are contained in the edges shapefile. Use the edges shapefile to add,
delete, or change linear feature attributes.
In addition to an edges shapefile, the Census Bureau provides shapefiles for
legal boundaries that you may edit. Refer to the Digital BAS Respondent
Guide included with your LUCA materials for boundary updates.
To geocode addresses to census blocks, a tabblock shapefile is included.
For more details on the contents of the shapefiles, view the readme.txt file that
is included in the CD-ROM containing your shapefiles.
Submitting Shapefile Feature Information
In order to submit digital feature information, you must have a GIS capable of
importing ESRI shapefiles, editing the features, and exporting layers back into
ESRI shapefile format.
.
The Census Bureau’s Shapefile Coordinate System and Projection
Information
All shapefiles provided by the Census Bureau are in the following
unprojected geographic based coordinate system:
•
13
GCS_NAD83
All shapefiles provided by the Census Bureau are in Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) format. The
use of brand names does not represent an endorsement of a company or its products by the U.S. government. Due to
the wide use of ESRI products by our partners in the GIS community, and ubiquitous use of the shapefile format as a
medium for GIS data exchange, the Census Bureau provides data in shapefile format.

Please feel free to project these files into your local coordinate
system/projection.
General File Setup Guidelines
Upon receipt of your shapefiles, follow the setup guidelines listed below
before beginning actual updates:
•
Open the CD and enclosed zip file to ensure it contains the shapefiles
for your entity.
•
Copy and decompress the shapefiles to a directory on your server or
hard drive.
•
Open the shapefile in a GIS.
Note: If you are using GIS software that does not contain a shapefile
translator, please contact the Help Desk at 866-919-5822 for further
instructions.
Changing Our Coordinate System to Match Yours
Our files are in GCS NAD83 format. Please feel free to project these files
into your local coordinate system projection. Most GIS software packages
contain projection wizards, or something similar, allowing the user to
transform file coordinate systems and projections. For example, if your
office uses ArcView to update files, please activate and utilize ArcView’s
‘Projection Utility Wizard’ extension. If using ArcGIS, please use its
“Projection Utilities” in ArcToolbox. MAF/TIGER extract shapefiles
contain defined projection information in the *.PRJ file. Both ArcView
and ArcGIS access the *.PRJ file for projection information; therefore,
there is no need for you to define these parameters before changing the file
coordinate system.
In addition, if your files are in a datum other than NAD83, you must
geographically transform our files to match your datum. Most GIS
software has tools for performing geographic transformations on files. If
57
Chapter 6: Shapefiles
you transform the files to your local coordinate system, we request that
you convert them back to the GCS NAD83 format before submitting the
file to the Census Bureau. If you encounter problems transforming our
files, please contact the Help Desk at 866-919-5822 for assistance.
Feature Information
The Census Bureau will collect feature changes designated by the LUCA
participant.
If you have reviewed your features using our shapefiles and have
determined that the Census Bureau needs to add, remove, or rename
features in a given area, you may submit your modifications in a separate
layer. To move or correct the shape of a feature, first delete the feature
then add the correction.
Use the appropriate update code located in the coding scheme as shown in
Figure 6.3 to identify the type of feature modification needed for
submission.
If any issues arise with the shapefiles that you submit, your Census Bureau
Regional Office will attempt to contact you to clarify the issue. If
clarification is not made prior to our project deadline, the updates may not
be incorporated into MAF/TIGER. Your updates are considered
temporary until their existence is confirmed during our Address
Canvassing Operation.
Updating the Feature Shapefile
Use the edges layer to provide all feature updates to the Census Bureau’s
shapefile.
Edges Layer Data Dictionary
The data dictionary defines the attribute information for each feature
contained in the edges layer. See Figure 6.1 for an example of the edges
layer data dictionary.

TLID is the TIGER/Line ® ID
•
The MAF/TIGER Feature Class Code or MTFCC is used to identify
the most noticeable characteristic of a feature.
o The MTFCC is a five-character code; the first character is a letter
describing the feature class. For example, streets and roads are
identified as S1400.
o The Census Feature Class Codes or CFCC were recently changed to
the MTFCC. A crosswalk is on the following page as well as in
the readme.txt file on your CD-ROM.
•
If the FIDELITY flag contains a value of ‘1’, the Census Bureau was
unable to maintain the boundary’s shape during the MAF/TIGER
Accuracy Improvement Process (MTAIP).
o The MTAIP project acquired geographic information system (GIS)
files, aerial photography, and GPS data from various sources
nationwide to update the TIGER® database.
o One of the primary goals of the project was to develop a highly
accurate geographic database of the United States. The Census
Bureau focused on improving the accuracy of street feature
coordinates to provide base information suitable for use with GPSequipped hand held devices that would facilitate the gathering of
accurate location and census information for all living quarters and
workplaces.
o To aid the Census Bureau in developing a highly accurate
geographic database, please review all line segments (not just
roads) in the Census Bureau’s edges layer for lines with this flag.
Make necessary boundary corrections to the affected entity if the
boundary has been coordinately shifted.
•
FULLNAME is the feature name.

Metadata
Metadata Requirements
Submit appropriate metadata with your file.
Metadata that describe the data content, coordinate system/projection,
author, source, and other characteristics of GIS files are critical for Census
Bureau staff to efficiently and accurately process files. The Census
Bureau requires that a metadata text file accompany every GIS file and
layer submitted.
The Federal Geographic Data Committee’s (FGDC) Content Standard for
Digital Spatial Metadata provides a national standard that enables the datasharing public to easily locate critical information about a file and ensure
that no critical information is omitted inadvertently when creating
metadata. For this reason, the Census Bureau requests that metadata be
submitted using this standard. For information about the FGDC and its
geospatial metadata standards, please visit http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata.
The Census Bureau requires that the following sections of the FGDC
metadata form be completed:
•
Citation (information about the originator, publication date, title
edition, and other publications or information).
•
Description (section that contains an abstract describing your data
set).
•
Time period of content (section that describes the vintage of the
data).
•
Spatial domain (information about bounding coordinates).
•
Point of contact (general contact information).
•
Data quality information (information about attribute accuracy).
•
Spatial reference information (section on coordinate system /
projection of the data set).
•
Entity and attribute information (section that describes the contents
of your table).
To help you fulfill the requirement of filling out and submitting metadata,
the Census Bureau suggests visiting the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) web site at www.usgs.gov. This site contains useful information
about FGDC compliant metadata, from which one can read about metadata
frequently asked questions, view FGDC metadata examples, and connect
to other FGDC related Web pages. The USGS's metadata URL is
http://geology.usgs.gov/tools/metadata/.
65
Chapter 6: Shapefiles
Moreover, if you are using Arc/Info, the following link points to a useful
Arc Macro Language (AML) tool that, when executed, completes most of
the required sections of the metadata form automatically
http://marinemetadata.org/tools/refs/FGDCMeta. (This AML is a product
of the Illinois State Geological Survey.)
Note: ESRI’s ArcCatalog also has an embedded program that uses the
FGDC standard in its creation of geospatial metadata.
If you have questions regarding the metadata requirements, please contact
the Census Bureau at the Help Desk (866-919-5822).
Digital File Submission
Use the following as a guide to ensure that you have included all the
required layers.
•
Name the feature update layer:
LUCA__LN_changes.shp
The feature update layer must include:
o A value in its “CHNG_TYPE” field that indicates the type
of change.
o Only feature updates (do not include unmodified features).

RETURNING OR DESTROYING CENSUS BUREAU TITLE 13, U.S.C. MATERIALS
Introduction
Returning Census Bureau Title 13, U.S.C. Materials
Destroying Census Bureau Title 13, U.S.C. Materials
Conclusion
At the conclusion of the appeals process, you must return to the Census
Bureau or destroy all Title 13, U.S.C. address lists and all copies. If you
choose to destroy Title 13, U.S.C. materials, you must follow the Census
Bureau’s specific guidelines for destroying Title 13 materials as described
below or in the Confidentiality and Security Guidelines.
The designated liaison is required to verify the return or destruction of any
remaining Title 13 materials, both paper and computer-readable (i.e.; paper
copies, backup files, etc.) by signing and returning to the Census Bureau the
Return or Destruction of Title 13, U.S.C. Materials form found in Appendix H.
If you return your Title 13 materials to the Census Bureau, this form must be
included. All LUCA Program reviewers and anyone with access to Title 13
materials (including all persons who signed the Confidentiality Agreement
Form) are required to sign and date this form once the appeals process has
concluded. Should any liaison, reviewer, or anyone with access to Title 13
materials leave before the completion of the LUCA Program, they are required
to sign-out of the program by signing and dating this form. If any liaison or
reviewer leaves and fails to sign and date this form, the current liaison can
sign-out on their behalf.

The destruction process must prevent recognition or reconstruction of
the paper or computer-readable information. Use one of the following
methods to destroy census confidential materials:
Shredding
o Chemical decomposition
o Pulverizing (such as, hammer mills, choppers, etc.)
o Burning (only in a facility approved by the Environmental
Protection Agency)
o Clear magnetic media (tapes, disks, hard drives) containing
Census Bureau address information before reuse. To clear,
overwrite all Title 13 data a minimum of three times using a
commercial disk utility program or degauss using a commercial
degausser.
o Clear diskettes by running a magnetic strip of sufficient length

APPENDICES
Appendix A
Confidentiality and Security Guidelines
The law requires the U.S. Census
Bureau to maintain the confidentiality
for all of the information that it collects.
The Census Bureau takes its
responsibility to protect the
confidentiality of the information it
collects very seriously. Respondents
place their trust in the Census Bureau
each time they complete a survey or an
interview. This trust in confidentiality is
critical to the success of the Census
Bureau’s mission to collect and report
the most accurate data possible. To
uphold the law, the Census Bureau
requires that all individuals who work
with the Census Bureau’s confidential
materials read, understand, and agree to
abide by the confidentiality and security
guidelines outlined below.
thereof to examine the individual
reports.”
Section 214 of the Code and the
Uniform Sentencing Act of 1984 set the
penalty for the wrongful disclosure or
release of information protected by Title
13 at a fine of not more than $250,000
or imprisonment for not more than 5
years, or both.
To implement this law, all Census
Bureau employees (both temporary and
permanent) take an oath to maintain the
confidentiality of the census information
they encounter in their work. Census
information includes:
•
Everything on a completed or
partially completed questionnaire or
obtained in a personal or telephone
interview.
•
Individual addresses maintained by
the Census Bureau that Local
Update of Census Addresses
(LUCA) Program liaisons review.
•
Maps that identify the location of
individual housing units and/or
group quarters (“structure points”).
Why Address Information Is Protected
Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.),
provides for the confidential treatment
of census-related information. Chapter
1, Section 9 of the code states:
“Neither the Secretary, nor any other
officer or employee of the Department of
Commerce or bureau or agency thereof,
or local government census liaison,
may, except as provided in section 8 or
16 or chapter 10 of this title…
1) use the information furnished under
the provisions of this title for any
purpose other than the statistical
purposes for which it is supplied; or
2) make any publication whereby the
data furnished by any particular
establishment or individual under
this title can be identified; or
3) permit anyone other than the sworn
officers and employees of the
Department or bureau or agency
Title 13 of the U.S.C. does not protect
generalized address information, such as
the address range data available in the
Census Bureau’s digital shapefile
products.
In 1994, the U.S. Congress amended
Chapter 1 of Title 13 to allow local
government designated census liaisons
to review the Census Bureau’s address
list for their area. This amendment
recognizes the important role that local
knowledge and participation can play in
building and updating an accurate,
comprehensive census address list. In
Appendix A: Confidentiality and Security Guidelines
71
amending this chapter, the Congress
reaffirmed the confidential nature of
address information.
The Confidentiality Agreement
Each participating government must
designate a primary liaison. The
primary liaison, all reviewers, and
anyone with access to Title 13, U.S.C.
materials must understand and sign the
Confidentiality Agreement. The Census
Bureau considers all individuals who
have access to the Census Bureau’s
address information and maps showing
the location of housing units and group
quarters, liaisons. Therefore, all Option
1 and Option 2 2010 Decennial Census
LUCA Program liaisons, reviewers, and
anyone with access to Title 13 materials
must sign the Confidentiality
Agreement.
Signatures on this form constitute an
agreement by each individual to abide
by the security guidelines outlined
below. While access to Title 13
protected information is temporary, the
commitment to keep the information
confidential is permanent.
•
The Census Bureau will not
deliver the address list materials
to Option 1 and Option 2
participants until we have
received a completed and signed
Confidentiality Agreement and
Self-Assessment Form.
•
Although you may have prior
confidentiality agreements on file
at the Census Bureau, these will
not fulfill the requirements of the
2010 Decennial Census LUCA
Program.
Security Guidelines
The Census Bureau recognizes the fact
that the implementation of these
guidelines may vary slightly from one
72
participant to another. Regardless, the
result must be the same for each
participant – nondisclosure of
information protected by Title 13,
U.S.C.
The primary liaison accepts the
responsibility for protecting and
safeguarding the LUCA program
materials covered by Title 13, U.S.C.
This includes any list that shows
individual Census Bureau addresses
and any Census Bureau map or digital
file that shows individual housing units
and/or group quarters location
(“structure points”). The primary
liaison must restrict access to the Census
Bureau’s address information to those
individuals who have signed the
Confidentiality Agreement. The liaison,
reviewers, and anyone with access to
Title 13 materials must sign the
Confidentiality Agreement.
As you read the Census Bureau’s
security requirements, keep in mind the
important role security plays in the
overall responsibilities of each LUCA
program liaison, reviewers, and anyone
with access to Title 13 materials. The
Census Bureau must have your full
cooperation and commitment to
following these guidelines. Together,
we will maintain the confidential
information entrusted to the Census
Bureau by the Congress and the
American public.
Protecting Census Bureau Address
Information
The Census Bureau will conduct
training workshops covering all aspects
of the LUCA program. In addition, the
workshops will provide the participating
governments with an opportunity to
review the security guidelines and
safeguards to protect against illegal use
of Census Bureau address information.
Census Bureau staff conducting the
workshops will provide information to
Appendix A: Confidentiality and Security Guidelines
help you decide who in your
organization needs to have access to the
Census Bureau’s Address List and will
review the civil and criminal penalties
for improper or illegal use of the data.
Onsite Visits
To ensure that participating entities or
organizations are maintaining adequate
security safeguards, the Census Bureau
may make on-site visits to review your
government or organization’s security
procedures. The Census Bureau will
strive not to disrupt your office
operations. A typical visit would
include a review of:
•
Storage and handling of Census
Bureau address information.
•
Employee access to Census Bureau
address information.
•
The physical safeguard of the
computers, rooms, and buildings
where the Census Bureau address
information is stored.
•
Instructions to employees about
security.
•
Data processing operations
(including use of passwords).
•
Employee awareness of their
responsibilities to protect the
confidentiality of Census Bureau
addresses.
•
During work hours, do not leave a
room unattended where Census
Bureau address information is
stored. Lock the room whenever
you leave.
•
Do not leave Census Bureau address
information unattended at your
desk. Return any Title 13 data to
secure storage when you are not
using it.
•
Only make copies of the
information necessary to complete
your task. Do not leave the copying
machine unattended while making
copies. All copied material
containing Title 13 information
must bear the statement:
“This document contains
information, the release of which
is prohibited by Title 13, U.S.C.,
and is for U.S. Census Bureau
official use only. Wrongful
disclosure or release of
information can be punished by
fine or imprisonment (Public
Law 99-474).”
•
To FAX a document containing
Census Bureau address information
to a Census Bureau location, make
sure the document is properly
labeled with the disclosure
statement: “DISCLOSURE
PROHIBITED BY Title 13,
U.S.C.”, verify the FAX number
before sending, and arrange for a
Census Bureau employee to be at
the FAX machine to receive it and
acknowledge receipt.
•
Do not disclose precise or even
anecdotal information about Census
Bureau addresses or locations to
anyone who has not signed the
Confidentiality Agreement Form or
is not a Census Bureau employee.
Protecting Paper Copies of Census
Bureau Address Information and Maps
•
Keep all Census Bureau address
information in a locked room during
non-work hours. If possible, store
the Census address materials and
maps showing structure points in
locked desks or cabinets.
Appendix A: Confidentiality and Security Guidelines
73
Protecting Computer-Readable Census
Bureau Address Information and Maps
Operating systems, programs,
applications, and data related to the
review of Census Bureau addresses must
be accessible only to LUCA program
liaisons and reviewers. The automated
data processing (ADP) system should
restrict the read, write, delete, and
execute functions applicable to the
Census Bureau’s addresses.
The ADP system must use log-on
routines that require a user-ID and
password that conform to the following
guidelines:
•
Assign a unique user-ID and
password for liaisons, reviewers,
and anyone with access to Title 13
materials.
•
Passwords must consist of at least 8,
nonblank characters consisting of at
least one alphabet letter and either
one number or one special character
($,*, &). No more than six
consecutive characters (AAAAAA)
may appear in the password, and
then only once.

selected legally defined geographic areas. The BAS is used to update information about
the legal boundaries and names of all governmental units in the United States.
Census Bureau address list – A nationwide list of all housing unit and group quarter
addresses known to the Census Bureau. In addition to the mailing address and ZIP Code,
the Address List may identify the location of each housing unit and group quarters.
Census block – A geographic area bounded by visible features, such as streets, roads,
streams, and railroad tracks, and invisible features, such as the boundaries of
governmental units and other legal entities. A census block is the smallest area for which
the Census Bureau collects and tabulates statistical information. Census blocks are
numbered within census tracts and are unique to the census tract to which they belong.
Census block number –Census block numbers contain a 4-digit number plus a 1-digit
alpha character, if applicable, e.g. 3001A. Suffixes, such as 2011A and 2011B, reflect
boundary changes as well as added features.

statistical data. Census tracts never cross the boundary of a county or statistically
equivalent entity, but may split other geographic entities; e.g., minor civil divisions and
places.
Census tract number – Unique numbers to identify census tracts within a county or
statistically equivalent entity. Census tract numbers contain up to a 4-digit number
followed by a decimal point and a 2-digit number for suffixed tracts, e.g., 1234.01. For

4567.00. Leading zeros are not shown on Census Bureau maps.
Chief executive/highest elected official – The person most responsible for the
governmental activities of a local government. This person receives the LUCA Program

Federal Information Processing Standards codes (FIPS codes) – a standardized set of
numeric or alphabetic codes issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) to ensure uniform identification of geographic entities through all federal
government agencies. The entities covered include: states and statistically equivalent
entities, counties and statistically equivalent entities, named populated and related
location entities (such as, places and county subdivisions), and American Indian and
Alaska Native areas.
Geocodes – Codes that place an individual address in its correct geographic location,
which includes the correct state, county, census tract, and census block codes.
Geographic Information System (GIS) – A computer system for the storage, retrieval,
and maintenance of information about the points, lines, and areas that represent the
streets and roads, rivers, railroads, geographic entities, and other features on the surface
of the Earth-information that previously was available only on paper maps.
Governmental unit – A geographic entity established by legal action for the purpose of
implementing specified governmental functions. Most governmental units provide a
number of general government services and raise revenues (usually through taxing
authority).
Group quarters – A place where people live or stay, in a group living arrangement, that
is owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for

is commonly restricted to those receiving these services. People living in group quarters
are usually not related to each other.
Group quarters include such places as correctional facilities, juvenile facilities, nursing
homes, hospitals with long-term care facilities, college or university dormitories,
fraternities, sororities, dormitories for workers, religious group quarters, shelters, group
homes.

without going through another living quarters, such as from outside the building or
through a common hall.
Legal boundary – The legally defined boundary of a governmental unit, usually
referring to a county, minor civil division, or incorporated place. The legal boundary
identifies the area within a local government's jurisdiction, and thus bounds the area of
LUCA responsibility.

Census Bureau that has customized functionality required by Census Bureau geographic
partnership programs.
Map Sheet to Block Number Relationship List – A list identifying census block
numbers and the Census Bureau map(s) on which each block is located.

of the Census Bureau’s operations. Besides containing mailing addresses and ZIP
Codes, a MAF record also contains geographic information about the location of
addresses. Now a part of the MAF/TIGER Database.
Metadata – describes the data content, coordinate system/projection, author,
source, and other characteristics of GIS files.
Minor civil division (MCD) – A type of governmental unit that is the primary
governmental or administrative subdivision of a county. MCDs are identified by a
variety of terms, such as town (in 8 states), township, and/or district, and include both
functioning and nonfunctioning governmental entities.
Noncity-style address – An address that does not have a house number and/or street
name or may not include a complete house number and street name address. This
includes rural route and box number address and highway contract route addresses, etc.,
which may include a box number, post office boxes and drawers, and general delivery.
Occupied housing unit – A housing unit is classified as occupied if it is the usual place
of residence of the individual or group of persons living in it at the time of enumeration
or if the occupants are only temporarily absent; for example, away on vacation.
Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels, motels, and similar places are classified as
housing units only when occupied by permanent residents, that is, individuals for whom
the facility is their usual place of residence.

Shapefile – Data set used to represent geographic features such as streets and
boundaries. Shapefiles can represent point, line, or area features and require GIS or
mapping software.
Street segment – The portion of a street or road between two features that intersect that
street or road, such as, other streets or roads, railroad tracks, streams, and governmental
unit boundaries. The Census Bureau records the known address ranges for every street
segment with city-style addresses.
Structure Point – A dot on a Census Bureau map, used to show the location of
one or more living quarters. 4-digit number plus 1-digit alpha character assigned
within a census block to each structure point. Structure points are stored in the
TIGER® database.
®
Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER ) – A
computer database that contains a digital representation of all map features (streets,
roads, rivers, railroads, lakes, and so forth) required to support Census Bureau
operations, the related attributes for each, and the geographic identification codes for all
entities used by the Census Bureau to tabulate data for the United States, Puerto Rico,
and Island Areas. Now a part of the MAF/TIGER Database.
Vacant housing unit – A habitable structure containing living quarters that is not
occupied. New housing units not yet occupied are classified as vacant housing units if
construction has reached a point where exterior windows and doors are installed and final
usable floors and a roof are in place. Vacant units are excluded if open to the elements,
or if there is positive evidence, such as a sign on the house, that the housing unit is to be
demolished or has been condemned.
