About the 2030 Census

Planning the 2030 Census is underway. The 2030 Census will count residents of the United States and five U.S. territories and will mark the 25th population count in the United States; the first was in 1790.

The data collected by the census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives (a process called apportionment) and is also used to adjust or redraw electoral districts based on where populations have increased or decreased. The results also inform decisions about allocating hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding to communities across the country—for hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other critical programs and services.

Planning for the 2030 Census is underway.

Planning for a decennial census takes years. For the 2030 Census, we started Early Planning in 2019 and are currently in the Design Selection Phase.​

This phase includes research, testing, and operational planning and design work to inform the selection of the initial 2030 Census operational design, which is the big picture plan for conducting the census.
