2030 Census counting criteria

Norfolk

Summary

Federal proposals would narrow who can be counted in the 2030 Census, and the comment window is short. Norfolk was undercounted in 2020 and risks losing federal funding for health, education, roads, and housing if it happens again — council wants the city to request an extension and file comments.
