Plans
The count is now complete, and the Census Bureau is currently processing the data, making sure that everyone is counted once, only once, and in the right place. Here’s a look at some of the key upcoming dates, as they are currently scheduled:
2020-2021
- As close to December 31, 2020, as possible: The Census Bureau will deliver population counts used for apportionment to the president as required by law.
- As close to April 1, 2021, as possible: By this date, the Census Bureau will send redistricting counts to the states. This information is used to redraw legislative districts based on population changes.
Each year, the Census Bureau will also release estimates from the American Community Survey. This survey supplements the census by providing information on more than 40 topics including education, income, health insurance coverage, commute times, occupations, and languages spoken at home.
