The Census Bureau is planning for the 2030 count while a lawsuit over the 2020 Census remains unresolved.Summary
The Census Bureau is moving forward with planning for the 2030 count, making decisions that will shape the distribution of federal funding that topped $2.8 trillion in fiscal year 2021. These decisions will determine how hundreds of millions of Americans are represented in Congress, how legislative districts are drawn in every state for the next decade, and how much federal funding flows to programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The bureau's 2030 planning and a federal lawsuit both center on the same question: how to protect the privacy of census respondents without distorting the population data that determines representation.
