Title: Call Scripts to Update the MAF / TIGER Database for Group Quarters/Transitory Locations
OMB Control Number: 0607-0809
Expiration Date: 06/30/2019

Telephone Communications: Calls to Update the Master Address File (MAF) / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding Referencing (TIGER) System Database for Group Quarters/Transitory Locations

Background on Previous MAF/TIGER Generic Clearance

The Census Bureau maintains a Master Address File (MAF) database and a linked Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding Referencing (TIGER) System database. This MAF/TIGER database (MTdb) serves as the national repository for all of the spatial, geographic, and residential address data needed for census and survey data collection, data tabulation, data dissemination, geocoding services, and map production. The MAF contains all known living quarters and serves as the base of the census frame, to deliver questionnaires and postcards and to facilitate in-person data collection. The goal is to have each address in the MAF linked to a geographic location in TIGER, the Census Bureau’s mapped spatial database. This linkage also ensures that the census data are processed and tabulated in the correct geographic location. The Census Bureau currently has a generic MAF/TIGER clearance in place that covers a range of activities that directly support the Census Bureau’s efforts to regularly update the MTdb for use in conducting and evaluating statistical programs undertaken on a monthly, annual, or periodic basis.

Summary and Motivation

In order to update the MTdb information as specified in the generic clearance, the Census Bureau seeks to contact entities or organizations to validate group quarters (GQ) and transitory location (TL) addresses within the MTdb. Group quarters are organizations that provide housing and/or services for the residents and include places like college dormitories, group homes, correctional facilities, etc., while transitory locations include recreational vehicle (RV) parks, campgrounds, hotels, motels (including those at military sites), marinas, race­tracks, circuses, and carnivals. The Census Bureau will make contact by telephone in cases where information is incomplete after reviewing other available data (such as United States Postal Service address delivery data, high-quality aerial imagery, partner-provided data, etc.) through a process known as In-Office Address Canvassing. In-Office Address Canvassing, an innovation for the 2020 Census, will reduce the number of addresses subject to In-Field Address Canvassing for the 2020 Census. This innovation will reduce the overall cost of address canvassing operations. In-Field Address Canvassing, a more time and labor-intensive operation than In-Office Address Canvassing, is the process of having listers visit specific geographic areas to identify every place where people could live or stay, and then to compare what they see on the ground to the existing census address list to update or verify the information. Contacts are expected to be made with administrative staff, rather than on the residents at the GQ/TL, and will result in updates to the MTdb. 

Background on Address Canvassing and the 2020 Census

In line with the goal of continuously updating the MTdb, the Census Bureau seeks to call administrative contacts to validate specific types of living quarters (LQs) information. The calls will target administrative contacts who can provide information relating to group quarters and transitory locations in order to update the MTdb.

During the years preceding the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau will pursue its commitment to a complete and accurate decennial census. With an increasingly diverse and growing population in mind, the Census Bureau is focusing on key innovation areas, including re-engineering the 2020 Census Address Canvassing operation. The goal of re-engineering Address Canvassing is to ensure an accurate address frame is developed using innovative methodologies and data to update the MTdb throughout the decade.

The purpose of the Address Canvassing operation is to: (1) deliver a complete and accurate address list and spatial database for enumeration and tabulation, and (2) determine the type and address characteristics for each living quarter. Two major components of the re-engineered Address Canvassing operation to be used in the 2020 Census are a new In-Office Address Canvassing operation and a re-engineered In-Field Address Canvassing operation. The Census Bureau believes that there are other means for accomplishing the address list updates and determining which areas have housing changes without canvassing every single block in the nation just before the 2020 Census. The In-Office Address Canvassing operation is underway and provides continuous updates to the MTdb in order to ensure a complete and accurate address frame for use during the 2020 Census.

For the 2010 Census, Address Canvassing field staff, referred to as listers, traversed almost every block in the nation to compare what they observed on the ground to the contents of the Census Bureau’s address list. Listers verified or corrected addresses that were on the list, added new addresses to the list, and deleted addresses that no longer existed. Listers also collected map spot locations (i.e., Global Positioning System coordinates) for each structure and added new streets.

In addition to Address Canvassing, the Census Bureau conducted the Group Quarters Validation (GQV) operation after the Address Canvassing operation and before enumeration for the 2010 Census. The purpose of the GQV operation was to improve the GQ frame. A GQ is a place where people live or stay, in a group living arrangement, that is owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. This is not a typical household-type living arrangement, and residency is commonly restricted to those receiving specific services. People living in GQs are usually not related to each other.

For the 2010 Census GQV operation, field staff visited a specific address to determine if it was a GQ, housing unit, transitory location, a nonresidential unit, or if it was nonexistent. If the address was a GQ or TL, the lister collected additional information needed for subsequent enumeration operations, such as contact name.

In support of a more efficient census design strategy, the 2020 Census will not include a separate operation to validate GQ/TL information. Instead, during the 2020 Census, the GQ/TL information will be validated during the Address Canvassing operation. The proposed telephone calls are part of the work to update the MTdb using the procedures of the 2020 Census design.

2020 Census Address Canvassing: In-Office Address Canvassing

In-Office Address Canvassing is the process of using empirical geographic evidence (e.g., imagery, comparison of the Census Bureau’s address list to partner-provided lists) to assess the current address list and make changes where necessary. This component detects and captures change from high-quality administrative records and third-party data, reducing the In-Field Address Canvassing workload.

Calls to Group Quarters/Transitory Locations to Update the MAF/TIGER System

The purpose of the telephone calls to GQ/TL housing entities, which will occur as part of the In-Office Group Quarters/Transitory Location review, is to obtain address frame information from an administrative contact by telephone to update the MTdb. This means fewer of these types of LQs will require field canvassing. Burden will be not be placed on the residents at the GQ/TL but on the administrative staff who will be contacted in order to obtain this information.

As part of the In-Office Address Canvassing workflow for GQs/TLs, all known MTdb addresses that are classified as GQs/TLs will be reviewed. Information provided by GQ/TL administrators will be obtained as part of a separate mailout and Internet Self-Response operation; data will then be standardized and compared with the existing MTdb for validation and updates. Any unmatched GQ/TL addresses (address information provided by outside contacts that does not exactly match MTdb data) and GQs/TLs that enter the review process—typically unknown structures identified during the In-Office Address Canvassing process—may be validated and updated using telephone contacts by the Census Bureau’s National Processing Center (NPC). NPC staff will call an administrative contact employed by the GQ/TL to validate and update any required information (such as structure type, address data, and maximum number of people who can live or stay at the GQ/TL). The GQ/TL call script will be used (see Appendix 1). Any information that cannot be obtained by telephone will be marked for additional processing, such as In-Field Address Canvassing.

2020 Census Address Canvassing: In-Field Address Canvassing

In-Field Address Canvassing is the process of having listers visit specific geographic areas to identify every place where people could live or stay, and then to compare what they see on the ground to the existing census address list and either verify or correct the address and location information. Listers also classify each LQ as a housing unit or GQ. Listers knock on doors at every structure in an attempt to locate LQs. If someone answers, the lister provides a confidentiality notice and asks about the address in order to verify or update the information, as appropriate. The lister then asks if there are any additional LQs in the structure or on the property. If there are additional LQs, the lister collects/updates that information, as appropriate. If the lister does not find anyone at home, the lister updates the address list as best they can by observation.

IN-OFFICE GROUP QUARTERS REVIEW

CALLING SCRIPT

2020 CENSUS

Presented by

DORA B. DURANTE

Special Enumerations Branch

Decennial Census Management Division

Final version 1.0

April 19, 2017

Supersedes all previous versions

This document has two parts:

• In-Office Group Quarters Review Calling Script has the detailed step-by-step interviewing questions

• Living Quarters Flash Card has the detailed descriptions of group quarters grouped in categories

Purpose:	To assist Address Canvassing in conducting In-Office Group Quarters (GQ) Review
Outcome:	Upon completing In-Office GQ Review, the following key information should be obtained and/or verified: GQ Name GQ Physical Street Address (Not physical affiliated Facility street address) GQ Contact Person Name GQ Contact Person Title GQ Phone Number GQ Email Address GQ Maximum Population (Max Pop) GQ Type Code These above data will be recorded in the Master Address File (MAF), and other information collected will be passed on to GQ operation.
Remark:	Source file will be the 2010 GQ universe and newly added GQs. GQs that are not initially included in or not resolved in In-Office GQ Review will be routed to In-Field Address Canvassing. The same GQ address can have multiple records with different GQ Type Codes. In other words, the same GQ could have one portion that is designated as one GQ Type Code, and another portion that is designated as different GQ Type Code (e.g., A hospital may contain both a psychiatric unit [401] and a skilled-nursing unit [301]).
Assumption:	This script is meant to provide knowledge on how to obtain the above outcome. This script is not meant to be used as system application specs or user stories. All business flows listed here should flow as expected from a functional standpoint. GQ Types 106, 404, 601, 602, 703, 706, and 900 are out of scope and being handled outside of In-Office GQ Review.
