Census | A post-census 2000 system of files and software used by the Census Bureau to enable regional office field staff to update the address information in the Master Address File (MAF) and the street, address location, and related information in the TIGER(r) database for an area. The field staff use laptop computers to view address and map information derived from the TIGER(r) database and the MAF, and to record updates and corrections to those files. (There will be separate versions of the ALMI for use by staff at headquarters and in the regional offices.) As of spring 2002, the ALMI has three assignment types: • "Update block," for which staff are assigned specified blocks to canvass in order to find and record addresses not in the MAF, correct and unduplicate information for the addresses recorded in the MAF, record or correct the approximate location of each address, and update and correct street/road information. • "Locate address," for which staff are assigned specific addresses recorded in the MAF. Using the ALMI, they can display a map for a specific block, nearby blocks, and, if necessary, an overview or "locator" map of a county, census tract, governmental unit, etc., in an effort to try to find each address on the ground. They record in the ALMI the approximate location of each address that they find, identify addresses currently in the MAF that do not seem to exist or that duplicate another recorded address, and update and correct the address records and street/road information. • "Find growth," for which staff are assigned an area suspected to contain new residential development. If they find new housing, they identify the census tract(s) and block(s), which will comprise a future "update block" assignment(s). The primary intercensal users of the ALMI are the American Community Survey, other Census Bureau surveys, and the Local Update of Census Addresses Field Verification operation. The ALMI also may be used for incorporating into the MAF and the TIGER(r) database the updated information developed from other field operations, such as special censuses.
