Sharing Administrative Data for the 2030 Census

States have a powerful role in shaping the success of the 2030 Census. By sharing administrative data like vital records and motor vehicle registrations, states can help ensure a more accurate count—especially for hard-to-reach populations. This partnership not only improves data quality but also helps local leaders make smarter decisions for their communities. All shared data is protected by strict federal laws to maintain confidentiality and security.
