Abstract: The Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data (SAID) Program is a voluntary geographic partnership program that collects data to update and maintain the U.S. Census Bureau’s geographic database of addresses, streets, and imagery, known as the Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geocoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System. The MAF/TIGER System is used to link demographic data from surveys and the decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, American Indian reservations and trust lands, census tracts, and counties. The MAF/TIGER System is vital for the Census Bureau’s data collection, processing, tabulation, and dissemination programs for the United States and Puerto Rico. The SAID Program provides the Census Bureau with a continuous method to obtain current, accurate, and complete address, street centerline, and imagery data from tribal, state, and local government partners. It is an integrated program of improved address coverage, continual spatial and street updates, and enhanced quality assessment and measurement throughout the decade to support current surveys, ongoing programs such as the American Community Survey and the Population Estimates Program, and the 2030 Census. Since inception, the SAID Program (previously known as the Geographic Support System (GSS) Partnership Program) enabled the Census Bureau to update addresses and street centerlines across the country, with participation covering nearly 89 percent of the housing units in the nation. Moving forward, the SAID Program will focus on acquiring addresses, street centerlines, and imagery in areas targeted for housing unit growth or change (e.g., E-911 conversions). Consideration of past program participation and other factors also play a role targeting areas for inclusion in the SAID Program universe.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The change in burden for the SAID Program for the 2022-2024 clearance cycle from the previous collection (2019-2021) is due to a program change, focusing primarily on needs-based acquisition instead of attempts to acquire resources for the entire nation, and the availability of the National Address Database (NAD), an open, partial coverage address database for the nation that will reduce acquisition efforts and time in many areas, as well as some processing time.
