Case Study: US Census Bureau achieves $5 billion in cost savings with 1Spatial

US Census Bureau cuts census costs by $5 billion with 1Spatial

The US Census Bureau faced the challenge of manually validating and integrating vast amounts of geographical data for its decennial census, a labor-intensive process that required 140,000 field canvassers for the 2010 count. To reduce costs and improve efficiency for the 2020 census, the bureau partnered with 1Spatial to automate these critical operations using their 1Integrate solution.

1Spatial's solution automated the validation and integration of data submissions, enabling the Census Bureau to process files more quickly and maintain a more accurate master database. This resulted in a requirement for only 25% of the field canvassers needed in 2010 and contributed to a total cost avoidance of $5 billion for the 2020 census.
