April 16, 2024 — The U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to hold the third in a series of webinars to share updates and lay the groundwork for key components of the 2030 Census preparations.
The upcoming webinar will provide updates about the scope and enhancements that will be tested in the 2026 Census Test, including new strategies to increase overall response and participation. The Census Bureau will pay special attention to the inclusion of hard-to-count and historically undercounted populations. The webinar will also describe how the Census Bureau plans to test features that were not used during the 2020 Census. The 2026 Census Test is one of two major field tests the Census Bureau will hold leading up to the 2030 Census.
Counting every person living in the United States is an incredibly complex undertaking. Throughout the planning process, the Census Bureau uses research, stakeholder input and a wide range of expertise and testing to inform decisions. The design of the 2030 Census will mature through 2029. The Census Bureau will continue to engage stakeholders and provide updates throughout the process.
For more information, visit the 2030 Census webpage for updates and additional resources.
