Preparing for the 2030 Census

Testing Our Innovations [ [link removed] ]

"*Written by: *Deborah Stempowski, Associate Director for Decennial Census Programs"

Working toward our goal of counting "everyone" in the census, including hard-to-count and historically undercounted populations [ [link removed] ], requires a wide variety of interconnected activities. The U.S. Census Bureau remains committed to looking for better ways to reach and count these populations in the 2030 Census and beyond.

As we prepare for the 2030 Census, we’re working to improve a number of interconnected activities, including how we reach out to encourage people to respond; the different ways people can respond; and how we collect and process data. These activities work together toward our goal of getting a complete and accurate count in the 2030 Census.

These efforts are paving the way to potential enhancements to the 2030 Census.
