Needs and Uses: The Spatial,
Address, and Imagery Data (SAID)
Program is one of many voluntary
geographic partnership programs that
collects data to update and maintain the
U.S. Census Bureau’s geographic
database, known as the Master Address
File/Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(MAF/TIGER) System. The MAF/TIGER
System is vital for the Census Bureau to
collect, process, tabulate, and
disseminate data.
The geographic framework within the
MAF/TIGER System enables the Census
Bureau field personnel to navigate to the
appropriate locations for data collection.
It enables the Census Bureau to define
geographic boundaries, including
census blocks, and accurately link
demographic data from surveys and the
decennial census to census blocks,
locations, and areas, such as counties,
cities, and school districts for data
tabulation and dissemination.
The SAID Program supports the
Census Bureau’s ongoing demographic
surveys and 2030 Census planning
efforts by continuing to improve address
coverage, collect and update street
centerlines, and enhance the overall
quality and integrity of the MAF/TIGER
System after major census update
programs have concluded. The SAID
Program provides the Census Bureau
with a continuous method to obtain
current, accurate, and complete address,
street centerline, and imagery data.
Since its inception, the SAID Program
has allowed the Census Bureau to
update addresses and street centerlines
across the country. Moving forward, the
SAID Program will continue to acquire
addresses, street centerlines, and
imagery in areas identified with housing
unit growth or change or where the
Census Bureau has inadequate coverage
or data, to continue updating and
improving the MAF/TIGER System.
The Census Bureau is adding a
feedback component to its geographic
partnership programs to improve the
administration of the respective
program and potentially reduce the
future burden. Participants may be
asked to provide their feedback on
materials, method(s) of data collection,
manner of communications, and the
usability of the program applications
and tools.
The SAID Program follows the
process below:
• The Census Bureau invites partners
in targeted areas to participate each
fiscal year, including Tribal, State,
county, and local governments; Federal
agencies; and other authoritative
organizations.

• Partners are asked to provide a
current address list with associated
location points and attributes, a street
centerline file, and/or imagery data for
their jurisdiction that is no more than
two years old.
• Partners upload the requested data
files using the Secure Web Incoming
Module (SWIM) or equivalent file
transfer module, deliver large imagery
datasets on hard drives, or the Census
Bureau acquires the files/data through
direct download. If the data file size is
too large to submit through SWIM, a
hard drive will be sent to the participant
for file upload and sent back to the
Census Bureau.
• The Census Bureau validates, then
updates the MAF/TIGER System with
the address and street centerline data
provided by partners and uses the
provided imagery for quality control
and change detection.
• The Census Bureau uses these
updated addresses, streets, and imagery
to support Census Bureau field
operations, decennial census operations,
ongoing demographic survey response
collection, and data tabulation.
• The Census Bureau provides
partners feedback regarding the data
they supplied.
Affected Public: Tribal, State, county,
and local governments, and
organizations as well as other Federal
