"The Census Bureau has proposed new rules for how the 2030 Census could work. These rules are not final.

Our fact sheet breaks down the proposal in plain language and explains why these changes matter for representation, race and ethnicity data, government records, and how communities show up in the count."

"The Census Bureau says the proposed 2030 Census rule is about accuracy, privacy, efficiency, and following the Constitution.

Those words can sound straightforward.

But words like accuracy, fairness, efficiency, neutrality, and privacy do not explain themselves. Somebody still gets to decide what they mean, who benefits from those definitions, and what gets left out.

The Read Past the Claims sheet was created to help everyday people, organizers, advocates, and community groups look beyond the headline and ask better questions about what the proposed changes could mean in real life."

The Leadership Conference Education Fund and the Census Counts coalition compiled this Resource Index to help census stakeholders understand the current state of the 2030 Census and the key policy, operational, and advocacy issues shaping preparations for the next national count.

​

Sections may be downloaded individually and shared with colleagues,

partners, and decision-makers. We encourage users to distribute relevant materials widely to support education, planning, oversight, and advocacy efforts aimed at achieving a fair, accurate, and complete count of all communities.

"The Census Bureau strives to count all people living in the United

States as of Census Day, but historically the census has missed chil-

dren, urban and rural low-income households, and people of color at

disproportionately high rates. Part of the reason for these undercounts

can be traced to missing or inaccurate address information.

​

...by participating in LUCA, local governments and community partners can fill critical data gaps, improve the accuracy of the count, and ensure the census reflects the true makeup of their communities."
