Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on County and agency changes to Census Tracts and Blocks Groups to meet Williamson County’s responsibility for participation in the U.S. Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Area Program (PSAP) as part of the 2020 Census.

This item is acknowledgement and approval of the submission of the Participant Statistical Area Program (PSAP) data to the US Census Bureau via Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG). As part of this program, the County had 120 days to update Census tracts, block groups, and Census Designated Places. These updates will be the basis for demographics for the next 10 years. 
 
The County and participating Agencies have made changes to the Census Tracts and Blocks Groups based on Census population and housing criteria as well as current and future planned growth.  The Court had given our office direction to present the proposed changes before we move ahead to finalize the changes and submit to the Census for final review.
 
Due to the 120-day timeline from the Census Bureau, there was only a few weeks for edits to be made to the data before the County will compile the changes and submit the final set to CAPCOG and on to the Census Bureau.
