The Census Bureau’s first operation in preparation for the 2030 census is the Local Update of Census Addresses, or LUCA, and it needs your help in updating its address list. Preparation starts now. States, local jurisdictions and tribal nations can identify areas with hidden and low-visibility housing, lots of in-fill and new residential developments; areas recovering from disasters; and areas with nontraditional addresses.

Why bother? To make the census count more accurate! If an address or housing unit isn’t on the Census Bureau’s list, the people living there might not be counted in the 2030 census. An accurate census means communities receive their fair share of federal and state resources and political representation!

In this webinar cosponsored by the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, the International City/County Management Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures, learn about the steps you and your partners can take now to get this critical census activity right!
