The U.S. Census Bureau has announced the start of the 2026 Census Test, which will take place in Huntsville, Alabama and Spartanburg, South Carolina. The purpose of this test is to evaluate certain operations ahead of the 2030 Census.

According to the announcement, the test will assess how the U.S. Postal Service can be used for tasks that are usually handled by Census Bureau field workers. There will also be limited activities related to in-field enumeration.

The agency stated its ongoing commitment to accuracy for the upcoming decennial census. “The Census Bureau remains committed to conducting the most accurate count in history for the 2030 Census and looks forward to the continued partnership with local communities.”
