Join the StatVentures team for an information session to learn how to participate in Phase 1 of the Address Geolocation Challenge.
Learn about the goals of the challenge, how to apply, eligibility, what is included in a concept note, and judging criteria. There will also be an opportunity for open Q&A.
During Phase 1, submit a concept note proposing new ways to produce more complete, accurate, timely, and granular data on the locations of residential addresses in the United States, especially in rural and remote locations. Compete for up to 10 prizes of $10,000 each, and a spot in our Phase 2 innovator cohort.
StatVentures is an initiative of Census Open Innovation Labs that scouts technology through collaborations with innovators outside of government to ensure the U.S. Census Bureau continues to provide the highest quality data. Through multi-phase competitions, we invite participants to propose new concepts that could ultimately become the next methods and data sources for the U.S. Census Bureau.

What is the Address Geolocation Challenge?
Â
The Address Geolocation Challenge seeks to innovate the ways the Census Bureau geolocates residential addresses in rural and remote locations in the United States. How can the Census Bureau capture and maintain residential addresses that are not traditional mailing or city-style addresses, more efficiently or effectively than solely by sending a human canvasser out to capture that information?
