flag U.S. Census Bureau cuts 2026 test in rural and tribal areas, drops multilingual forms, sparking accuracy concerns.

flag The U.S. Census Bureau is scaling back its 2026 field test for the 2030 census, eliminating planned testing in rural western Texas and several Indigenous tribal lands, including Fort Apache, San Carlos, and Qualla Boundary reservations. flag It is replacing temporary workers with U.S. flag Postal Service staff and removing Spanish- and Chinese-language versions of the online form, leaving only English available. flag These changes, part of broader reductions in planning and transparency, have raised concerns among critics about the accuracy of the upcoming count, particularly in hard-to-reach communities. flag The bureau maintains its commitment to a complete and accurate census but has not explained the reasons for the cuts.
