Census Bureau Invites Public Input on Designing 2030 Census [ [link removed] ]

Feedback Is Critical for Informing Plans for the Next Decennial Headcount

The U.S. Census Bureau has formally invited the public to share their input and ideas for an improved 2030 Census. The invitation comes in the form of a Federal Register Notice published on August 17. The notice marks the start of a 90-day response window.

The Census Bureau is in the early stages of planning for the next census – a process that includes years of research and testing to prepare for the complex task of counting every person living in the United States each decade. By mid-decade, in 2024, the Census Bureau expects to decide the initial operational design for the 2030 Census – the “big picture” plan for the census. That milestone is followed by refining procedures and putting technology and other infrastructure in place for the national count in 2030.

Household Pulse Survey Phase 3.5 Monthly Data Release

The U.S. Census Bureau, on August 17, released new data from phase 3.5 of the experimental Household Pulse Survey (HPS). Phase 3.5 includes new questions on timing of positive coronavirus test, use of coronavirus treatments, the experience of long-COVID symptoms, amount of monthly rent and changes in monthly rent, children's mental health, and difficulty with self-care and communicating. Questions related to food expenditures were reinstated this phase.

Some existing questions were also modified. Among them: changing the focus of one vaccination question to ask reasons for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine "booster" instead of reasons for not getting the vaccine; modifying the questions on children's vaccines to include whether each child in each given age group is fully vaccinated and has received booster vaccines; and a revised question on number of days (if any) teleworked. Several questions were removed for this phase, including those on the number of vaccine doses and brand of vaccine received, intention to receive a vaccine, mental health prescriptions and services use and unmet needs, preventive care for children, confidence in paying rent or mortgage on time and some questions on household activities.
