The Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) is your city’s first – and best – opportunity to help ensure every resident is counted in the 2030 Census. The accuracy of your population count starts with the accuracy of your address list. If a household isn’t on that list, it won’t be counted, and your city will miss out on funding, representation and planning data for the next decade. Although the LUCA program officially opens in 2027, cities that begin preparing now will be best positioned to act quickly and thoroughly when the window opens.
Join this webinar to get an overview of what LUCA is, why your city should consider participating, and how to get started.
