NEW DEADLINE/TIMELINE:
Due to health and safety concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, this will be the first-ever decennial census that has been delayed. The U.S. Commerce Department officially stated it is “seeking statutory relief from Congress for 120 additional calendar days to deliver final apportionment counts.”
Under this plan, which must receive congressional approval, field data collection and self response will be extended from the original July 31 date until October 31, 2020. Apportionment counts would then be delivered to the President on April 30, 2021, and the redistricting data to be delivered to the states by July 31, 2021.
