U.S. Census Bureau to Announce Locations for 2026 Test

U.S. Census Bureau to Announce Locations for 2026 Test

The United States Census Bureau announced on July 17 that it will be announcing the sites for its 2026 test in an online webinar on July 24. The 2026 test will be the first of two major tests the bureau will use to prepare for the 2030 census.

This webinar will be the fourth webinar the Census Bureau has used to inform the public of its plans for the 2030 census. The bureau intends to focus on increasing the participation of underrepresented and difficult-to-count groups from previous censuses. 

In order to improve results from the previous census, which was in 2020, the bureau is focusing on several key areas of innovation, the effectiveness of which will be tested in 2026.

One of those areas is self-response, which involves convincing people to respond to the online questionnaire by sending them mailed materials, and making it easier to respond and finish the questionnaire. This will especially target those who do not typically respond. In addition, the bureau will also provide an online version of the questionnaire if requested, in multiple languages.
