LUCA: Improving Census Data. Here’s How, Starting Now
This webinar will be hosted by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Please email registration@ncsl.org with any questions regarding registration or login issues.
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.
In this webinar cosponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures, the National League of Cities, the International City/County Management Association and NACo, learn about the steps you and your partners can take now to get this critical census activity right!
