Abstract: The Special Census Program is a reimbursable service offered and performed by the Census Bureau for governmental units that require current population data between decennial censuses. The Census Bureau will update addresses on its Master Address File and enumerate populations in special censuses. Many states distribute funds based on current population statistics. In addition, special census data are used by the local jurisdictions to plan new schools, transportation systems, housing programs, and water treatment facilities.
