Additional Guidance

Targets represent minimum annual requirements and are rounded to the nearest whole number.
Population figures are based on the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year estimates (2020–2024) from the United States Census Bureau’s Application Programming Interface (API) for Calendar Year 2026 (CY2026).
Targets will be recalculated annually using updated population data.
Any changes to data sources or methodology will be communicated through policy updates.
AAAs are encouraged to exceed minimum targets based on community needs, service gaps, and outreach efforts.
