2010 Census New Construction Program
The 2010 Census New Construction program will help
ensure that the U.S. Census Bureau's address list is as
complete and acc~rate as possible by Census Day, April
I, 2010. The Census Bureau is updating its address list
by field car:tvassing all blocks in the spring/summer of
2009. The New Construction program Is the opportunity
for you to submit city style mailing addresses for units
constructed after the address canvassing operation.
Addresses must have basic construction (closing the
structure to the elements) completed by Census Day.
HOW IS THE NEW CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM ADMINISTERED?
The 2010 New Construction program operates
as follows:
· The New Construction program is offered only to
local and tribal jurisdictions that contain blocks
where the Census Bureau plans to mail question-
naires to the housing units. In other areas, the
Census Bureau will have enumerators hand deliver
questionnaires to all housing units in each block and
record addresses for any new housing units.
· Each invited government designates aNew
Construction liaison to submit the New Construction
addresses for their jurisdiction.
. The Census Bureau will send the New Construction
liaison the Census Bureau materials.
· The New Construction liaison must submit a list of
city-style addresses, assigned to the census blocks
within its jurisdiction in the Census Bureau pre-
defined format. The maps or spatial data are for
use as a reference for assigning Census tract and
block codes (geocoding) for each submitted address.
No street or boundary updates will be accepted.
Address lists submitted without geocoding informa-
tion will not be accepted.
· The New Construction program excludes Group
Quarters addresses (places where people live or
stay, in a group living arrangement, that is owned
or managed by an entity or organization provid-
ing housing and/or services for the residents). The
Census Bureau has a series of operations designed
to capture new Group Quarters addresses, includ-
ing but not limited to, Group Quarters Validation,
Group Quarters Advanced Visit, Group Quarters
Enumeration, and the Count Review program.
WHAT TYPE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS WILL I RECEIVE?
Address Template
An address list template record layout is included on
your CD-ROM. This template will be used to format
your local address file for submission.
Census Maps
The New Construction program maps are provided
for geocoding purposes only. The reference maps are
offered in PDF format or the participant may elect to
receive the spatial data from TIGER" in shapefile format
that requires a Geographic Information System soft-
ware application for viewing. For those governments
without a GIS software package, the Census Bureau will
provide the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS).
The MTPS is an easy-to-use desktop tool that makes
participation easier for jurisdictions without a GIS sys-
tem.For governments choosing maps in PDF format,
the Census Bureau will provide Adobe Reader software
to view the PDF maps.
SCHIDULE
The registration form must be completed and received
by the Census Bureau by October 8, 2009. The
Census Bureau plans on shipping materials beginning
November 2009. Participants have 45 calendar clays to
submit their addresses from receipt of materials.
