The Census Bureau has announced plans to include a citizenship question in its upcoming test for the 2030 census, a decision that has raised concerns among experts. In addition, the Trump administration is reducing the number of testing sites for the census, concentrating efforts in the South while eliminating locations like Colorado Springs. Huntsville, however, has been selected as one of the two primary sites for a significant 2026 operational test. This move is part of a broader push to alter census procedures, prompting alarm from various stakeholders about the implications for data accuracy and representation.
