Census Bureau Data Availability May Decrease Amid Privacy Policy Changes
New public data from the Census Bureau, essential for redistricting and various other applications, may see a reduction in availability. This potential decrease is linked to actions by Trump administration officials, who are reportedly limiting the methods the Census Bureau can employ to protect individual privacy when releasing statistical information. The move could impact the scope and detail of publicly accessible census data.
