Summary
The 2030 Census could reshape New Jersey’s future—losing seats or funding isn’t just possible, it’s likely if we don’t act now. With staffing cuts, funding shortages, and political threats like a citizenship question undermining participation, undercounting immigrants, renters, and low-income residents could cost us representation and billions in federal dollars. New Jersey’s urban centers still lagged in 2020, and without immediate local action—updating address lists, funding outreach, and investing just $3-5 million—we risk repeating history. The clock is ticking: preparation must start today, not in 2028. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
