SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The 2026 Census Test is the first of
two major field tests planned to help the
Census Bureau prepare for the 2030
Census. The 2026 Census Test is not an
end-to-end test of all operations.
Instead, it is a scaled-down version of
the selected aspects of the census
conducted in six field sites across the
nation. The test also includes a
nationally representative sample of
households, who are able to respond to
the test online, by phone, or by mail.
The U.S. Census Bureau will test
changes and enhancements planned for
the 2030 Census in the real world and
on a larger scale than research
simulations allow. In 2028, a second test
will serve as a dress rehearsal of census
operations and handoffs between them.
The goals of the 2026 Census Test are
to test operational viability of new and
revamped systems and methods
researched and developed for the
census, to identify, document, and
address potential challenges; and to
evaluate the efficacy of proposed
changes to ensure the overall quality of
the 2030 Census design. Some
decisions, including names of
operations and workload estimates,
have yet to be made as the Census
Bureau is finalizing the test plans;
however, at this time, the Census
Bureau can present aspects of the test
that affect the public.
Self-Response
Self-Response collects respondent
information via the internet, phone
interviews, and paper questionnaires. A
description of the self-response modes
for housing units (HUs) follows in the
next sections. An HU is a private
residence for a person or small group of
people (such as a family or group of
roommates). Each housing unit must
have a separate entrance that provides
direct access to the outdoors or to a
common space within a building (such
as a hall, lobby, or stairwell) without
having to pass through the living
quarters of any other people. A living
quarters is typically a structure that is
intended for residential use. However,
any structure or place where someone is
living (or where someone is sleeping
without having a usual home elsewhere)
is also considered a living quarters, even
if it is not intended for residential use.
Internet Self-Response (ISR)
Internet Self-Response (ISR) allows
the public to respond online. ISR was
