Census Bureau to Release 2020 Census Operational Plan
MEDIA ADVISORY: CB15-168
Census Bureau to Release 2020 Census
Operational Plan
What:U.S. Census Bureau officials will release and discuss the
operational plan for conducting the 2020 Censusduring a live stream of the fall quarterly
program management review for the public, key stakeholders and oversight bodies. Additionally,
the Census Bureau will provide updates on other census topics, including 2015 National Content Test and 2016 Census Test
activities.
The 2020 Census operational plan outlines key operations,
the decisions made based on research and testing to date and a timeline for remaining
decisions. The innovations planned for the 2020 Census will make it easier for
people to respond and save taxpayers more than $5 billion over what it would
cost using older methods.
The Census Bureau is releasing this plan five years prior
to the 2020 Census — three years earlier than released for the last census. Through
the smart use of technology and existing data sources, the 2020 Census can provide
substantial taxpayer savings while maintaining a commitment to quality,
accuracy and confidentiality.
Presenters will take questions from on-site audience
members following completion of their remarks.
