Census used in which election cycles

The page mentions that the census will be used for elections from 2022 to 2030. This seems incorrect. Shouldn't it be 2032? Diane Langlumé 04:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dianelanglume ( talkcontribs)

  • No, why would you think that? The 2030 census will be use for 2032. Reywas92 Talk 13:35, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@Reywas92 I have to agree with you. I believe that the 2030 census is applied to the 2032 election cycle. Stevenmitchell ( talk) 03:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Why is there no demographic data in the article?

Why is there no demographic information in the article? Shouldn't that be in this article too? At least there is data on the Trump Administration's errors in undercounting and overcounting. That should also be in the general article on the U.S. Stevenmitchell ( talk) 03:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply

August and September released

That data is out: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/decade/2020/planning-management/release/about-2020-data-products.html

I'm not sure how to map the language used in the page to the language used on census.gov or how to handle the separate web and FTP releases, so I didn't just jump in and fix it yet. IonFreeman ( talk) 02:54, 22 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Grammatical errors

The entire page, particularly the "Demographics" section,is poorly written, and has severe grammatical issues. Phrases, such as "White Americans," need correction. Other racial & ethnic groups in the same section don't include the "Americans" qualifier, so neither should "White Americans." It is both unnecessary, and frankly, sounds rather racist. There are also many errors involving case, and singular vs plural verb forms when referring to demographic categories. Hneilm ( talk) 18:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
