SB 5505: Federal census data

Allowing the use of federal census data to determine the resident population of annexed territory.

Summary

  • Authorizes an annexing city to use updated 2010 federal decennial census data to account for the resident population of complete federal census blocks located in territory to be annexed, if the date of annexation occurs within 12 months after the release of the census data and the annexing city has a population of greater than 10,000 inhabitants.
  • Specifies that if an annexing city is using 2010 federal decennial census data , and at least two weeks prior to the date of annexation, the Office of Financial Management (OFM) confirms a known census error within a complete federal census block, the OFM may require the city to enumerate the population of certain group quarters, mobile home parks, apartment complexes, missing subdivisions, and closures of any of these structures or complexes within that block.
  • Requires an annexing city to use actual enumeration to account for the resident population of any partial census block located within the territory to be annexed, and for the entire resident population of territory to be annexed, if the date of annexation occurs more than 12 months after the date of release of federal decennial census data or if the annexing city has a population of 10,000 or fewer inhabitants.
