Census Bureau Says It Needs 4 Extra Months For 2020 Count

The Census Bureau has requested an additional four months to collect accurate US population data due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This extension would push back the timeline for delivering apportionment data to the President and redistricting data to states. The Bureau plans to continue data collection until October 31st, with final data delivery by mid-2021.
