Census Bureau plans 2030 count as 2020 lawsuit continues
The Census Bureau is preparing for the 2030 Census while lawsuits regarding the 2020 Census are still ongoing, affecting federal funding distribution exceeding $2.8 trillion in fiscal year 2021.
America First Legal, co-founded by Stephen Miller, filed a federal lawsuit in September 2025 in Tampa, Florida, challenging the 2020 Census methods.
The lawsuit claims that the Census Bureau's use of differential privacy and group quarters imputation distorted population data, allegedly causing Florida to lose two congressional seats.
The 2030 Census plans focus on balancing respondent privacy with accurate population data amid active court motions.
