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: 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• The Census Bureau provides 

partners feedback regarding the data 

they supplied.

and local governments, and 

organizations as well as other Federal 

agencies. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
