JUNE 17, 2025 — Planning for the 2030 Census is well underway. We’re currently in a phase of researching and testing potential changes in the way we conduct the once-a-decade population count.
One key component we’re researching is designing and improving the statistical safeguards we’ll use to protect the confidentiality of the public’s census responses. These safeguards, known as disclosure avoidance, are critical in helping us meet our legal obligations to keep the data that we collect confidential, while also ensuring the quality and usability of the statistical products we publish.
In this blog, we highlight these 2030 Census disclosure avoidance research objectives; provide background on the process used to select them; and discuss our timeline for researching, selecting, designing and implementing our 2030 Census Disclosure Avoidance System.
Perhaps most importantly, we identify how you can engage with us throughout this process.
