Needs and Uses: The Spatial, Address, and Imagery Data (SAID)
Program is one of many voluntary geographic partnership programs that
collects data to update and maintain the U.S. Census Bureau's
geographic database, known as the Master Address File/Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System. The
MAF/TIGER System is vital for the Census Bureau to collect, process,
tabulate, and disseminate data.
The geographic framework within the MAF/TIGER System enables the
Census Bureau field personnel to navigate to the appropriate locations
for data collection. It enables the Census Bureau to define geographic
boundaries, including census blocks, and accurately link demographic
data from surveys and the decennial census to census blocks, locations,
and areas, such as counties, cities, and school districts for data
tabulation and dissemination.
The SAID Program supports the Census Bureau's ongoing demographic
surveys and 2030 Census planning efforts by continuing to improve
address coverage, collect and update street centerlines, and enhance
the overall quality and integrity of the MAF/TIGER System after major
census update programs have concluded. The SAID Program provides the
Census Bureau with a continuous method to obtain current, accurate, and
complete address, street centerline, and imagery data.
Since its inception, the SAID Program has allowed the Census Bureau
to update addresses and street centerlines across the country. Moving
forward, the SAID Program will continue to acquire addresses, street
centerlines, and imagery in areas identified with housing unit growth
or change or where the Census Bureau has inadequate coverage or data,
to continue updating and improving the MAF/TIGER System.
The Census Bureau is adding a feedback component to its geographic
partnership programs to improve the administration of the respective
program and potentially reduce the future burden. Participants may be
asked to provide their feedback on materials, method(s) of data
collection, manner of communications, and the usability of the program
applications and tools.
The SAID Program follows the process below:
<bullet> The Census Bureau invites partners in targeted areas to
participate each fiscal year, including Tribal, State, county, and
local governments; Federal agencies; and other authoritative
organizations.
<bullet> Partners are asked to provide a current address list with
associated location points and attributes, a street centerline file,
and/or imagery data for their jurisdiction that is no more than two
years old.
<bullet> Partners upload the requested data files using the Secure
Web Incoming Module (SWIM) or equivalent file transfer module, deliver
large imagery datasets on hard drives, or the Census Bureau acquires
the files/data through direct download. If the data file size is too
large to submit through SWIM, a hard drive will be sent to the
participant for file upload and sent back to the Census Bureau.
<bullet> The Census Bureau validates, then updates the MAF/TIGER
System with the address and street centerline data provided by partners
and uses the provided imagery for quality control and change detection.
<bullet> The Census Bureau uses these updated addresses, streets,
and imagery to support Census Bureau field operations, decennial census
operations, ongoing demographic survey response collection, and data
tabulation.
<bullet> The Census Bureau provides partners feedback regarding the
data they supplied.
Affected Public: Tribal, State, county, and local governments, and
organizations as well as other Federal agencies.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 13 U.S.C. 6, 16, 141, and 193.
