Episode Description

Host: Leah Murray

In 2030, the U.S. Census is changing the way we count people. For the record, we’ve been counting people in this country since 1790 since we are constitutionally required to do so, but how we do it is left to the bureaucrats at the Census Bureau to decide. Mallory Bateman, Director of Demographic Research at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, joins Leah to discuss what this change would mean for their work with studying demographics.
