The administration of the decennial Census is a federal activity mandated by the constitution. But in order for our communities to ensure they are completely and accurately counted in April 2010, it must also be a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and local governments.
This web site will provide information relevant to the communities and residents of Indiana as planning and implementation for the upcoming Census proceed and we will also inform Indiana stakeholders about Census 2010 endeavors throughout the state.
The Local Update of Census Addresses (or LUCA for short) is the primary focus of Indiana's Census 2010 efforts for the first half of 2008.
Because an accurate population count starts with an accurate list of housing unit addresses, LUCA is a critical endeavor and all of Indiana's counties, cities, towns and townships should participate.
Why? The bottom line is if an address is not on the list, those residents will be missed in the Census.
