Abstract:
The 2020 Census Redistricting Data Program (RDP) is established in accordance with the provisions of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 141(c). Public Law 94-171 requires the Census Bureau to supply the 50 states the small geographic areas for which they wish to receive decennial census population totals for the purpose of redistricting. The law also requires that by April 1 of the year following the decennial census, the Secretary of Commerce will furnish state officials or their designee(s) with population counts for standard census tabulation areas (e.g. counties, cities, census blocks, and Congressional districts) and if provided by the states, legislative districts and voting districts. The program is also offered to the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The benefits to participation in RDP for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are that they will receive tabulations for the small area geographies they have identified that will assist with conducting their legislative and congressional redistricting.

Short Statement:
The RDP has added a second round of VTDP verification in 2020. Leading up to the decennial census, many geographies are changing simultaneously and consequently may affect the VTD geography. This second verification is necessary to make sure that VTD geographies are up-to-date and align with decennial geography. Since the VTDP verification round two is conducted over a two year period the annual burden hours were less than the previously approved collection.
