CDRPC’s Role in the Decennial Census

CDRPC serves as a connective link between the Census Bureau and the Capital District. The Census Bureau selects partners in an effort to raise awareness and work with communities to help improve the Census. To help improve the Census, CDRPC shares the Census Bureaus proposed Census Tract and Block Group changes with municipalities, who then can make their own suggestions which CDRPC can help translate into GIS. This ensures that data is divided into the most accurate possible tracts and boundaries to ensure that communities are counted correctly.
