Staffing and Funding
Moderate Risk
From FY2024 to FY2026, the Census Bureau has lost more than 2,500 staff (~ 20%). While the FY27 President's Budget requests an approximately 30% increase for the Census Bureau, the proposal recommends reductions to many programs and surveys. In May 2026, the House Appropriations Committee advanced its version of the budget, proposing level funding at FY26 levels.
