2030 Census Strategic Documents

About the Strategic Documents

This set of five strategy documents outline how the Census Bureau plans to carry out the 2030 Census. The strategies cover our approach for conducting a complete count, designing operations, developing the IT solution, sourcing contracts, and engaging with stakeholders for the 2030 Census.

Preparing for the census is an iterative process, and these documents record the Census Bureau’s current approach to preparing for key aspects of the 2030 Census.

The Census Bureau is set to complete the initial operational design or big-picture plan for conducting the 2030 Census in December 2024 and release it in 2025.
