Please review the Confidentiality and Security Guidelines, and then check the appropriate
response on this form. If you select LUCA Participation Option 1 or Option 2, sign and return
this form together with your completed 2010 Census LUCA Registration form, Product
Preference form, and signed Confidentiality Agreement form, either in the enclosed, postage-paid
envelope or by faxing the documents to [xxx-xxx-xxxx].
Each LUCA liaison is responsible for protecting and safeguarding the confidential Census
Bureau materials covered by Title 13, United States Code. This includes any list or file that
shows individual Census Bureau addresses and any map that shows structure location points for
dwellings. The primary liaison must restrict access to the Census Bureau’s address information
to only those individuals who have signed the Confidentiality Agreement. All individuals
directly involved in reviewing the materials for the 2010 Census LUCA Program and
anyone with access to Title 13 materials must sign the Confidentiality Agreement making a
permanent commitment to protect the confidentiality of Title 13 information.
Protecting Paper Copies of Census Bureau Address Information and Maps
Keep all Census Bureau address information and maps showing structure location points in a
locked room during nonwork hours. During work hours, do not leave a room unattended where
Census Bureau address information and maps are being reviewed. Do not leave Census Bureau
address information and maps unattended at your desk.
Protecting Electronic 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, reviewers and anyone with access
to Title 13 materials. The automated data processing (ADP) system must restrict the read, write,
delete, and execute functions applicable to the Census Bureau’s addresses. If Census Bureau
address information is placed on a shared computer system, create electronic security profiles to
allow only LUCA Program liaisons, reviewers, and anyone with access to Title 13 materials.
Lock all rooms with computers that contain Census Bureau address information and all
associated media during nonwork hours.

are available on CD-ROM and are recommended for communities with a thousand or more addresses. The paper printout of the
Address List contains approximately six (6) addresses per page; the Address Count List contains 50 census blocks per page. If you
have 6000 or more addresses, you can receive the Address List and Address Count List in computer-readable format only.
Please indicate your format preference for the 2010 Census LUCA Program Address List and Address Count List products in Section A.
Participants have the option of receiving Census Bureau paper maps or a shapefile. You can make this selection in Section B below.
The MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS), a computer software package that contains the Census Bureau’s Address List, the
Address Count List, and shapefiles, is available for Option 1 and Option 2 participants. Option 3 participants who select the MTPS will

Option Selection Guidelines
2010 Census LUCA Promotional Workshop

Option Selection Guidelines
• 100% noncity-style addresses – Option 1
required.
• Predominately noncity-style addresses Option 1 suggested.
• 100% city-style addresses – any option
• Recent conversion to city-style addressing,
Option 2 or 3 suggested.
• Cannot meet confidentiality or security
requirements – Option 3 is only option.

38

Factors to Consider When Selecting Your Option
If your jurisdiction has 100% noncity-style addresses, your only
option is Option 1. This will allow you to review the Address List
and Address Count List and, if you find discrepancies, you can
challenge the count of addresses for any or all census blocks within
your jurisdiction.
If your jurisdiction has predominantly noncity-style addresses, Option
1 is suggested. Option 1 allows you to update the individual city-style
addresses or to challenge the count of addresses for any or all census
blocks within your jurisdiction.
Note: As a reminder, you cannot update addresses and challenge
the count of addresses within the same census block.

44

Participant Guide

LUCA Promotional Workshop

Option Selection Guidelines
Factors to Consider When Selecting Your Option (cont.)
If your jurisdiction is 100% city-style addresses, any of the options are
suggested.
• Option 1 offers you more flexibility to review the Address List
to add, correct, and delete addresses, as well as to identify
nonresidential addresses and addresses that are not in your
jurisdiction.
• Option 2 offers the opportunity to review the Census Bureau’s
Address List, compare your list to ours, and submit your local
address list file in a Census Bureau pre-defined computerreadable format.
• Option 3 allows you to submit your local address list to the
Census Bureau without Title 13 responsibilities.
If you have recently undergone city-style address conversion, either
Option 2 or Option 3 allows you to submit your local address list.
There is no need for you to review our outdated address list.
If you cannot secure Title 13 materials or prefer not to sign the
Confidentiality Agreement Form, Option 3 is your only option.

LUCA Review Strategies
2010 Census LUCA Promotional Workshop

Developing A Plan
• Consider available time, information readily available,
and staff and computer resources
• You may designate another level of government or an
agency (county planning department, regional
planning agency, etc.) that is willing to assist you
• When resources are limited, the Census Bureau
recommends focusing on areas where addresses are
more likely to be missed or incorrect
69

Developing Your Plan
This slide lists some factors to consider when planning your review.

Glossary
Address Count List—List containing the count of housing unit and group
quarters’ addresses for each census block within your
jurisdiction. It is used to compare address counts between the
Census Bureau and your local address count. This list is supplied
to all participants, but the address count can only be challenged
under Option 1.
Address List Add Page—Used by Option 1 participants using a paper format
Address List to add only city-style addresses not shown on the
Census Bureau’s Address List.
Census block—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. Suffixes, such as 2011A and 2011B, reflect boundary
changes as well as added features.
Census Bureau Address List—List that contains all of the residential (city-style
and noncity-style) addresses known to the Census Bureau for
your jurisdiction. It also contains geocodes indicating the
location of each address.
Census Bureau predefined computer-readable format—Computer-readable
format that Option 2 and Option 3 LUCA participants must use
to submit their local address list file to the Census Bureau.
Census tract—A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county,
or statistically equivalent entity, delineated for the purpose of
presenting Census statistical data. Each census tract is uniquely
numbered within a county and contains numerous census blocks.

Glossary
City-style address—The majority of housing units and group quarters in the U.S.
have a house number and street name address, such as 123 W.
Main Street. In some instances, the house number may also
include an alpha character. The Census Bureau refers to these as
city-style addresses. City-style addresses for housing units in
multi-unit structures, such as apartment buildings, contain a unit
designator, for example, Apt 101 or Ste D. These designators are
part of the housing unit address and are included in each affected
census address record. Some city-style addresses, referred to as
E-911 addresses, are used only to provide location for emergency
services, such as police, fire, and rescue.
Geocodes —

Census geographic codes that place an individual address in its
correct geographic location, which includes the correct state,
county, census tract, and census block codes.

Group Quarters (GQ) —A place where people live or stay in a group living
arrangement that is normally 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 those services. People living in group quarters
are usually not related to each other.
Housing Unit (HU)—A single-family house, townhouse, mobile home, trailer,
apartment, or 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.
Map Sheet to Block Number Relationship List—List provided to participants
using paper maps. The list identifies the map sheet or sheets on
which each census block is located.

Glossary
Noncity-style address—The Census Bureau classifies addresses that do not
include a house number and/or street name as noncity-style
addresses. The majority of noncity-style addresses are typically
located in the more sparsely settled areas; 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
• 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.
Structure point—A dot on a Census Bureau map, used to show the location of
one or more living quarters. Unique numbers are assigned within
the census block to each structure point, which corresponds to
the entry in the address register for a basic street address.
Structure points are stored in the MAF/TIGER database.
Title 13 —

84

Provides for confidential treatment of census-related information,
including individual addresses and structure points that identify
the location of housing units and group quarters on Census
Bureau maps for select areas. Title 13 requires that all liaisons,
reviewers, and anyone with access to Title 13 materials abide by
the Confidentiality and Security Guidelines. It also requires that
the Census Bureau maintain the confidentiality for all of the
information that it collects.
