Abstract: The Census Bureau provides data for legally-defined geographic entities where the governments provide services to the people living and working within their borders. Examples of legally-defined geographic entities include cities, townships, counties, states, and Federal American Indian reservations and off-reservation trust lands. However, these legal geographic entities do not always provide data users and governments with sufficient details about different communities or sufficient geographic detail. In addition, many of these governmental units have frequently-changing boundaries and extensive variations in population characteristics. These situations make it difficult for data users to summarize and analyze census statistics at a subentity level. The Census Bureau conducts the Participate Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) to provide geographic data at a subentity level that effectively supplements and complements the legally established areas. In PSAP, the Census Bureau seeks partnerships with tribal, state, and county governments and planning organizations to obtain updates on these geographic entities referred to as statistical areas. The knowledge provided by the designated participants helps the Census Bureau succeed in its mission to be the leading source of quality data about the nation’s people and economy. PSAP allows participants, following Census Bureau guidelines, to review and suggest modifications to the boundaries of 12 types of standard or tribal statistical geographies,
