This program offers federally recognized tribes, state tribal liaisons, local governments, councils of government, and regional planning organizations the opportunity to review and modify select statistical boundaries that the Census Bureau uses to report the data that they collect. Registration will be March-May 2018. The work will be completed January-July 2019.

What are the affected geographies?

• Census tracts
• Block groups
• Census designated places (CDPs)
• Census county divisions (CCDs)
• Tribal geographies

Why is this important?

The 2020 Census and the American Community Survey data will be released using these boundaries for the next decade.
