FEB. 2, 2026 ― Today the U.S. Census Bureau announced the launch of the 2026 Census Test. The test will focus on operations in two of the planned test site locations (Huntsville, AL and Spartanburg, SC). These operations include evaluating the use of the U.S. Postal Service in various capacities typically performed by Census Bureau field workers and limited activities for in-field enumeration. The Census Bureau remains committed to conducting the most accurate count in history for the 2030 Census and looks forward to the continued partnership with local communities.
