15. Redistricting Data Program Enacted by Congress in December 1975, Public Law 94-171 requires the Census Bureau to provide states with the opportunity to specify geographic areas for which they wish to receive census population tabulations Requires the Census Bureau to tabulate decennial census population data, according to the geographies submitted in the state plan, no later than April 1, 2011

16. Phase 1 – State Legislative District Project (SLDP) (2004-2006) Collection of State Legislative District (SLD) boundaries (House and Senate) 100% participation Completed in January 2007

17. Phase 2 – Voting Tabulation District (VTD) Block Boundary Suggestion Project (BBSP) (2007-2010) This phase combined the option to –submit voting district boundaries for 2010 Census tabulation block boundaries –suggest 2010 Census tabulation block boundaries Participation in both components or just one Verification phase included for all components (VTD/SLD/CD)

18. Phase 3 – Delivery of the Decennial Census 2010 Redistricting Data (2010-2011) In accordance with 13 U.S.C. 141(c) the Governor and legislative leaders of both the majority and minority parties will receive population counts for standard geographies down to the census tabulation block no later than April 1, 2011

19. Data Delivery Delivery of population counts to the President by December 31, 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefiles to states in late November 2010 through January 2011 P.L. data to states February through March 2011 –Must be delivered by April 1, 2011

20. Phase 4 – Collection of Post-Census 2010 Redistricting Plans (2012-2013) The Census Bureau will collect from each state newly drawn congressional and legislative district plans The Census Bureau will re-tabulate 2010 census data for these newly drawn boundaries The American Community Survey (ACS) will also tabulate ACS data for these newly drawn boundaries

21. Phase 5 – Evaluation and Recommendations (2012-2014) Evaluation of Census 2010 Redistricting Data Program Recommendations for the 2020 Census “View from the States” –Final phase will result in the 4 th edition with recommendations for the 2020 Census

22. Post-2010 Census Geographic Areas Urban Areas: Census 2000

23. Overview ZCTAs - ZIP Code Tabulation Areas Urban Areas – Urban/Rural TAZs - Traffic Analysis Zones PUMAs - Public Use Microdata Areas

24. ZIP Code Tabulation Area Delineation 5-digit ZCTAs only for Census 2010 –No 3-digit ZCTAs 2010 census blocks will form the “building blocks” for ZCTAs ZCTAs will be defined only for areas with residential ZIP Codes –Will not cover the entirety of the nation ZCTAs will more closely approximate ZIP Codes

25. An example of block and MSP address configuration where a block split should occur Initial ZCTA Line Insertion Software The most frequently occurring ZIP Code in this block is associated with only 60% of the addresses.

26. Example of adding a ZCTA split line to a block Initial ZCTA Line Insertion Software

27. ZCTAs Delineation Schedule Spring 2010: Added non-visible edges to MAF/TIGER Database November 2010 - March 2011: ZCTA delineation April 2011: ZCTA TIGER/Line Shapefiles

28. Urban/ Rural (Urban Areas) Two types of urban areas: –Urbanized areas of 50,000 or more people –Urban clusters of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 people Rural areas –Territory outside urban areas Census Bureau has classified Urban since 1906 Urbanized Areas defined since 1950 Census Urban Clusters defined first for Census 2000

32. Traffic Analysis Zones Two types of areas: Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) –Defined based on 2010 census blocks Traffic Analysis Districts (TADs) –New for 2010 –Aggregations of TAZs

33. Traffic Analysis Zones: Schedule March/early April 2011: Mail out of materials to MPOs and State DOTs –Participants have 3 months to delineate TAZs June 2011: Return deadline for submissions October 2012: TIGER/Line Shapefiles include 2010 TAZs

34. PUMA Types Standard PUMAs (one level) Place-of-work (POW) PUMAs and migration (MIG) PUMAs are proposed to be county based, consisting of: PUMA 1 PUMA 3 PUMA 2 County Tract-based PUMA POW PUMA & MIG PUMA Boundary Symbology County A County B POW PUMA I and MIG PUMA I – a single PUMA for county-based PUMAs – a combination of adjacent tract based-PUMAs, so that together the PUMAs compose one or more complete counties

35. Population Threshold for PUMAs Each PUMA must have a minimum 2010 Census population of 100,000 Minimum population must be met at the time of delineation and maintained throughout the decade Number of PUMAs should be maximized –PUMAs should not contain more than 200,000 people

36. PUMA Guidelines Federal American Indian reservation/off-reservation trust land (AIR/ORTL) relationship wherever possible Wherever possible, each PUMA should comprise an area that is either entirely inside or entirely outside a current Core Based Statistical Area Use place definitions, urban/rural definitions, as well as local knowledge to inform PUMA delineation

37. PUMA Draft Schedule November 2010: Proposed criteria will be distributed to SDCs and a wide variety of stakeholder groups August 2011: Materials sent to SDCs for PUMA delineation Fall 2011: Hands on training using MTPS January 3, 2012: Return deadline for submissions
