4. Spell out abbreviations on first use except for St., Blvd., Ave., Cir., Ct., Hwy., and other
postal abbreviations found at: http://pe.usps.gov/text/pub28/28apc_002.htm.
5. Use ~ for an approximate number.

5/16/16 CT #004725 Community Assessment, 3/6/17, 10

 8. Except where specifically indicated, the profile is asking for what is inside the boundaries of
the CT. If including a resource or service just outside CT, it must be labeled as
such. Example: 0 grocery stores in CT. Two just outside CT.
9. The proper nouns and addresses of all businesses are not necessary. Example: There are
3 fast food restaurants in CT, all on Speedway.
10. Do include full proper name of health and social services, educational resources, recreation
resources, police and fire departments.
11. Web sites (links) for all health and human resources and other major assets in the census
tract must be included.
12. APA/Grammar Tip 1: Compass points (north, south, east and west) are capitalized when
they are part of a proper noun such as South Park Ave. or South Tucson (the city), but are
lower case when providing directions or a location (The College of Nursing is south of
Banner University Medical Center). APA/Grammar Tip 2. Be careful to capitalize all proper
nouns and keep generics lower case.
13. Keep report objective. Analysis and conclusions will go into the CAP report.
