Mid-decade Census for U.S. Insular Areas Every 10 Years

This new act mandates an additional population census every 10 years for four U.S. territories: the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This will provide more current population data, potentially leading to better planning of public services and resource allocation for these regions. Citizens can expect that this data will help tailor infrastructure and support to the actual needs of their communities.
Key points
An additional population census will be conducted in 2035 and every 10 years thereafter.
The census will cover the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The goal is to obtain more up-to-date demographic data for these territories.
