The main focus of the LUCA program is addresses. As such, any data source (geographic or tabular) which identified all current residential addresses in your jurisdiction would be of benefit. This type of data may include tax assessment data, 911 databases, water and sewer customer databases, and so forth. Other data which could be of benefit to the project include GIS road data as well as satellite and/or aerial photography.
