If you manage city or county address data in GIS or other formats, UGRC has a new web page with Utah-specific information about the Census Bureau’s Local Update of Census Address program.

The LUCA program is the pipeline to supply Census with best, most up-to-date address data, to best position Utah for the 2020 census, and a rightful share from census-informed federal funding formulas that support programs ranging from roads and highways to school lunch programs.

The new page includes information describing the LUCA program and its schedule. Additionally it serves as a gateway to supporting GIS data, advice on LUCA strategy and prioritization, and resources from the November 2 LUCA training held in Salt Lake City.
