A 2026 census test in two states includes a citizenship question, sparking fears of undercounting immigrants and undermining data accuracy.
The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2026 field test for the 2030 census will use a questionnaire with a citizenship question in Huntsville, Alabama, and Spartanburg, South Carolina, raising concerns among congressional Democrats.
They warn the inclusion could deter immigrants, including legal residents, from participating, risking an undercount that would affect congressional apportionment and $2.8 trillion in federal funding.
Critics argue the move, which also reduces test sites and uses a longer survey, undermines the census’s accuracy and integrity, echoing past efforts blocked by the Supreme Court.
The Constitution’s 14th Amendment requires counting all persons regardless of immigration status.
The Census Bureau and Commerce Department have not responded to requests for comment.
