MACOG 2010 Census Frequently Asked Questions
1.Where do I send my LUCA Registration Form? And by what time does it have to be sent in?
If you send your registration form in by Nov 19, 2007, you will have the full 120 days to review the material. But you may send in your registration form up until Dec 31, 2007, however it will not guarantee the 120 day period. Fax your registration form to 630-288-9313.
2. How do I reach the US Census Bureau if I have a question?
The US Census Bureau Chicago Office can be reached at
1-866-511-5822
The US Census Bureau Washington, DC Office can be reached at 1-866-919-5822
3. I received my LUCA CD but I cannot find the files I need to open?
There are several key files on the CD that should be
opened first.
1. readme1.txt (this should initially open in Notepad, but it
is unfriendly to read, right click on the text, choose select all, then right
click, choose copy, open MS Word,
right click and choose paste, it should now be formatted in an easy to read way)
2. As many as three PDF user guides for MTPS (LUCA Software),
LUCA Userguide, BAS (for boundary and annexation survey), read/review these
documents as needed, you may want to print them for easy access also.
3. *.exe files containing encrypted and zipped Address List
and Address Count List information (these are the LUCA address lists), these
will be able to be extracted using the methodology described
here.
6. We have several
address from other jurisdictions and unsure what jurisdiction they belong
in. I would not want that jurisdiction to miss them.
In the action code column mark that address with a "J". You might then want
to work with the jurisdiction it is in to make sure they are counting that
address.
7. How will the Census
Bureau count persons who have a PO Box address?
The Census will attempt to mail out the
questionnaires to most households. For those that do not have a house number
street name style address, we use the 911 fire numbers to locate the
household and do the Census in-person. LUCA is only interested in the mail
out / mail back operation. So if they are not covered by LUCA, we will get
them in Non Response Follow-up (or another operation) which comes after Mail
out / mail back.
