Summary of Request:
The Local Update of Census Addresses Operation, (LUCA) is a voluntary decennial census operation. LUCA is the only opportunity prior to the 2020 Census for Local Governments to review and update the U.S. Census Bureau’s residential address list for their jurisdiction. The Census Bureau relies on a complete and accurate address list to reach every living quarters and associated population for inclusion in the census. The Census Address list Improvement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-430) authorizes LUCA.
The LUCA operation is one of several geographic boundary and data review programs that allows the County to have local input into the decennial census process. GIS Program Staff within the Information Services Division have completed the Block Boundary Review Program and the Boundary and Annexation Survey, (BAS) Program. The LUCA Operation will give us the opportunity to match our County address data against the Census Bureau’s address list and make updates to the data as necessary. The accuracy and completeness of the Census Bureau’s address list is critical to the accuracy and completeness of the decennial census. Participating in LUCA can help ensure an accurate census for our jurisdiction.
Additionally, the State has established an incentive fund to encourage Cities and Counties to participate in the program and to help mitigate some of the cost of participation. Mendocino County is eligible to receive $7,500 as an incentive for participation in the program. The registration deadline is December 15, 2017.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the County’s registration and participation.
