Abstract

Innovations in Conflation at the US Census
Track: Elections, Redistricting, and Census
Authors: Joe Burgess

Recently the Census Bureau began to utilize conflation methods that leverage software from 1Spatial and ESRI to update the MAF/TIGER spatial database. In this session we will discuss progress developing a semi-automated conflation methodology that enables the conflation of roads in TIGER to roads in local, state, tribal, and commercial datasets.
