Census advocates warn about late census test changes, including a citizenship question.

The U.S. Census Bureau is planning to use postal carriers as census takers for a pilot program in two southern cities. Starting in June, 50 postal carriers in Spartanburg, South Carolina and Huntsville, Alabama will visit homes that haven't answered a 2026 test census questionnaire online.

Steiner is scheduled to testify before Congress later this month. In an interview this week, he says a decades-old $15 billion borrowing cap blocks an easy stopgap sol
