5_;"or; "a., rr"")n~if~)it.t"". ~ l:, U ~\, _, m ~ ~ ,.~ ,,,L OVERVIEW

As the release of the detailed 2010 Census data approaches, cities have a unique opportunity to beginensuring that in the 2010-2020 decade each of ' its residents are counted and, consequently, factoredinto federal and state funding formulae and the market demographics used by retailers and banks that,combined, will leverage billons of dollars of funding and investment. The purpose of Social Compact'sYour Fare Share (YFS) Census Challenge Program is to provide technical assistance to the City of JERSEYCITY and build local capacity for the purpose of improving the local population estimates and guidance

, for challenging existing, and potentially inaccurate, local population estimates.1.1 THE CENSUS CHALLENGE PROGRAM

In reognition of the impact of possible data discrepancies 'n its annual local population estimates, theCensus Bureau established a ,process allowing local governments to challenge its' population estimateand the components used to derive the population estimate forits juris~ictionfor the most recent year. This program is cailedthe Census Challenge.' The ,program, is ,seemingly asstraightfrward in process as it is in name, allowing localgovernments to contest current ye~r population estimates-through ,local data documenting changes in the local housings,tock. Typically, ,this is accomplished through careful inventory ,of loca! buildi,ng permit data, but may also include other datasources 'tracking potential change to -the local housing' stocksuchas certificates of occupancy, residential utility c~nnections,group quarters populations, voter registration records,department of motor vehicle registrations, and/or property tax,assessments.

,In 2008 alone a total of, 39 chaUengesby local governmentswere recognized by the Census Bureau until resulting inpopulation adjustments of roughly 400,000 people (or a 4%increase) back to the contesting jurisdictions.,

1.2 ASSESSING ACCURACY Of lOCAL POPULATION ESTIMATES

'~

Onlythe local government can submit a Census Challenge to the Census Bureau through the. Census Challenge Program, therefore the municipality is responsible for assessing whether its censusestimates are accurate or not. Social Compact recommends participation in the Challenge program toensure accurate local-level indicators efficient distribution of resources, andendorses annual Challenges.as a method of ensuring the best updated Census data.

In2000, an estimated decade-long decline in population in Example 1.1 did not capture the modest growthactually taking place. In other cases, the opposite can be true, as in EXlmple.1~2, where the actualpopulation growth appears to be much lower than that suggested by the Census Estimates.Through the process, local input provided through annual updates enables Census to examine the bestavailable data and -decreases reliance on imputatio,n and estimation from surveys significant at muchbroader geographies.

1.3 WHY IS AN ACCURATE CENSUSIMPORiANT?

Accurate population counts and estimates ~re important to, , cities for many reasons. The numbers drive decisions rega..ding

where and ,how federal andstate funding is directed, privatesector resdurce attracted and deployed, where people chooseto live, and, most importantly, they drive public perceptionsabout the vitality of cities and regions.

1.3.1 Allocation of Federal FundingCensus population counts and estimates' determine a city'sshare of funding allocations for federal and state programs, acity's prospects for securing private sector investment, a city'sadministrative effectiveness and efficiency, and eventhepublic perception of cities. In short, census population estimates matter enormously to cities. In total,over 170 federal programs incorporate census population indicators into formulas that determine therange and level of funding available to local governments. State agencies and cities receive billions infederal.resources from census based-formula awards. In addition, there are many federal programs thatuse population thresholds for determining funding levels. For instance, CDBG funding is only available tocities with 50,000 or more residents (200,000 or more for counties).

S r~c,'-' ~ ,~rn~'y'! jit~,~';"iit'.'U ~O.-i'~\ill!li~,J~,\"..-~L3,1, 1 The Cost of the lJruiercount

As the U.S. Conference of Mayor's 1999 survey on the fiscal impact of the census undercount, demonstrated, . a modest 4% census population undercount translated to $677 millon dollars ofunrealized federal and state funding allocations to just 20 cities over the course of this decade.America's cities stand to lose much more if funding allocations continue to be based on incomplete, ,ensus information. Billions of dollars in public sector fundingavailable to municipalities are at stake.Similarly, a study conducted by Price Water _ House CoopersgenerClted estimates showing the effect of the Census 2000, undercount on federal funding of eight maj()r programs over aten year peri~d, 2002-2012. For' instance, accor,jing to thereport, California wis undercounted by 522,796 people in the

, 2000 Censl,s. Los Angeles population, was undercounted byover 175,000. The cost, in terms of lost federal funding,to both Los Angeles and California, is significant.For just eight federal programs, California lost an estimated $1.5 billion in funding betWeen 2002 and2012. Furthermore, Los Angeles County lostan estimated $635 millon in federal funding over the sameperiod. An accurate census c;ount is the most powerful way to ensure cities, and its communities, gettheir fair share of funding for heaith, education and economic development p~ograms. '. r . .,' '.

1.3.2 Private and Public Investments

In ddition, retailers, financial institutions and other private sector investors each year rely on censuspopulation estimates to inform their investment decisions across cities. Indeed the Brookings Institutionhotes that, lithe foundation ofthe private-sector demographic data used for retail decisions is the u.S.

, ,Census Bureau."1 Private sector models based on incomplete census population estimates will continue,to' drive private sectr dcision-making" putting cities impacted by undercounts at, a distinctdisadvantag~. N()t only do census population estimates' influence public fUnding formulae, define themarket informtion use,d to support private sector investments, but these same indicators are used asthe benchmark by which cities,frame policy decisions or measure their own administrative effectiveness,incomplete census population estimates contribute to inexact policy recommendations and inaccurateprogram assessments.

1.33 Rankings and Public PerceptionSimilarly; census population estimates are routinely employed to position cities 'in popular ran kings andclassifications acrss a variety of soc:ial categories and economic touchstones ranging from "top ten,cities to find a job" to the "topten most dangerous cities". As such, incomplete censuspopulatoni Alyssa Stewart Lee, 2007.

estimates contribute, whether directly or indirectly, significantly to the perception of place, signalingeconomic prosperity and opportunity or forecasting stagnation and decline.

1.4 CENSUS OBSTAClES1.4.1 Hard-To-Count Populations

In cities with vast and varied population the task of undertaking a census is significantly morechallenging and complex:

1.4.2 lack of Local Capacity and ResourcesThe impact of budget cuts on the census in many states is far more severe than previously imagined. Forexample, in preparation for the 2000 census, the state of California set aside $24.2 million for censusoutreach effOrts. Even with this considerable investment, the state was significantly undercounted. Asthe 2010 count was conducted, the' implications of slashed budgets are clearly mustrated when just $1.7 .millon were allocated for outreach.

1.4.3 ForeclosuresThe mounting foreclosure crisis has only served to make the already difficult task of counting everyindividual even more complex. Large numbers of foreclosures resulted in, at least, two major challenges:

. it further complicated the task of determining occupancy levels; andit made it extreinelydifficult to track the movement offoreclsed families and individuals.

II. SOClAtCOMPACT PROGRAM: YOUR fAIR SHARE2.1 THE SOCIAl. COMPACT EDGE

SocialCompct is a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of business leaders from acrossThe country com it itted to promoting successful investment in lower-income communities. Working inclose partnership with community and corporate leaders over the past decade' and a half, Social

'Compact has pioneered the "DriIlDowri," a methodology to analyze' iriner~city markets and createaccurate, business-oriented profiles of "emerging" neighborhood markets. DraWing on businessdisciplines and community, strength, these DrilDown profiles have a strong track record of catalyzingsustainable, private investment, benefiting communities,anqbusinesses alike.

2.1.1 The Dril DownSocial Compact's innovative research fills a'void in the market: replacing outdated, deficiency-baseddata on lower-income commUnities with reliable market analysis to drive better investment decisions inunderserved communities. The goal: safe and healthy neighborhoods in which to live and do business.

Social Compact has pioneered the "DriIlDown," a methodology first used in 1998 to analyze inner-city,markets and create accurate, business-ori~nted profiles of emerging" neighborhood markets. Drawingon business disciplines and community strength, these DrillDown profiles have a strong track record ofcatalyzing Sustainable, private investment, benefiting communities and businesses alike.Social Compact has performed its DrilDown analysis in more than 400 diverse neighborhoods across thecountry in 20 cities: Baltimore, MD; Cleveland, OH; Chicago, 1(; CinCinnati, OH; Detroit, MI; Fort Worth,TX; 'Fresno, CA; Houston, TX; Jacksonville, FL; Kansas City, MO; Los Angeles; CA; Louisvile, KY; Miami, FL;New York, NY; Oakland, CA; Ontario, CA; San Francisco, CA; Santa Ana, CA; Tampa, FL; and Wlshington,DC.

These analyses have demonstrated how dramatically census and commercial census-based upgradesmisrepresent the fundamentals of urban markets; consistently showing Dril Down neighborhoods to bemore populous, safer, and with far greater buying power than previously thought.

2.1.2 'Social Compact's MethodsThis Census population estimate methodology influences the basis of the Social Compact primaryresearch product, the DrillDown, that Sodal Compact has perfectedver the last 15 years Howeverunlike the census, Social Compact works from the ground up using public and proprietary dat~sets tocreate a list of residential addresses. We also make adjustments to the occupancy rates and persons perhousehold as suggested by consumption data from local utilities 6r other local survey data. In this'sense,'Social Compact is more flexible to tailor its methodology to account for local variation in reliability and. , " . \ .vailabilty of data. In contrast, the Census Bureau must gather the same data, in the sameway,across

, the country.2.1.3 Social Compact Success Record

Cumulatively, through DrillDownand DrilDown Lite analyses, Social Compact has identified:II More than $35 bilion in aggregate household income (22%) h'gher than census trend

projections.. More than $16 billon net worth of informal economy,ll More than 350,000 more households than census trend projections..' More than 1.25 milion more residents than census trend projections

Every city and community is different and Social Compact is truly at the forefront of assessing theirparticular needs and helping themto meet them. Through our,efforts we have attracted over $lbillonof private investment in essential services, helped cities understand the impact of the foreclosure crisis,recalibrate the population estimates across the country and cOrrect the misperceptions ofthusands ofneighborhoods.

2.2.3 Phase 3. Technical Capacity Building

The data used for the Census Challenge is data that the city collects on a regular basis. Social Compacthas learnedi through its work with several citiesi that an initial collection of the necessary data and fieldsin the appropriate format and database system will help the City of JERSEY CITY to be ready for theCensus Challenge once it becomes available. The objectives of phase tWo are:

.. .Brief necessary city staff (in addition to.those who participated in the Training Phase) to enlistthe active support of key city departments and other appropriate agencies;II CoHect detailed information regarding city/s technology capacity and data management

II

processesII . Gather necessary city data from December 2009 through the current monthReview, information regarding the available technology for data collectioni storage andorganizationReview sample datai such as the tax assessors data to identify how collection could beimproved to provide more valuable informatior for multiple city objectives.Prvide a quick data and technology audit report with syggestions and next steps to ~ssure thatthe appropriate technologyi data and fields are. being collected in an efficient manner. Thereport will include a minimum requirements and a best case scenario.After the city implements the' suggested stepsi SocialCompact wil provide one final review ofthe technologyi data and collection process and see if any final adjustments need to be made.

2.2.3.1 Data Required for the (en.sus ChallengeTheoreticallyi any data that can identify the number of housing units within a city wouldbe useful for a Census Challenge. Howeveri the Census Bureau currently focuses onthree basic variations tO,the Housing Unit Method:

II 'Certificates ()f Occupancy Method (COM)II Building Permits Method (BPM)

,ii Utilty Method (UM)

The BPM and COM methods also'require data on Demolitions. Housing Unit loss isestimated by the Census Bureaui so having accurate data on the number of units lostdue to Demolitionsi Natural Disastersi etc. is critical for the best population .estimates.

'The UM tracks residential connections for water/' gasi sewer and/or electricityconsumption. Information on any boundary changes is also required to make sure theCensus is aware of such chnges.Ancillary data on Group Quarters and Mobile Homeplacements is also very helpful for Census Challenges. '
