A federal judge has ruled in favor of the city of Los Angeles and other plaintiffs who sued the Trump administration over a shortened 2020 Census, ordering the count to continue through Oct. 31.

The 2020 Census has faced unprecedented challenges. Here's how we got here, and what ensuring an accurate count means for Los Angeles.

This week a federal judge will decide whether to extend the 2020 Census. Here's the stakes of that decision in Los Angeles.

The U.S. Census Bureau has been attempting to count the estimated 66,000 homeless residents of L.A. County this week.

The federal government will attempt to count the estimated 66,000 homeless residents of Los Angeles County.

A federal judge has given the Trump administration until Sunday to turn over documents related to last months's abrupt decision by officials to end the 2020 Census a month early.

Now that a judge has granted a temporary restraining order halting the Trump administration's plan to cut the 2020 Census short, the Census Bureau is for now not allowed to wind down operations such as laying off census takers -- something that was already happening in L.A.

The U.S. Census Bureau says it's made good progress locally in the 2020 decennial count, but recent layoffs of enumerators are raising concerns for census advocates who fear an undercount.

There are less than four weeks left until the end of the 2020 decennial count. Many Angelenos are still uncounted, and amid changing deadlines, there are mixed messages as to when the counting work will conclude.

The U.S. Census Bureau says some local offices may finish in-person counting before schedule, but census advocates are worried about the quality of the data.

Census officials recently announced that in some parts of the country, in-person census work like door-knocking will end even earlier than the new Sept. 30 deadline.

The push is on to get Angelenos to participate in the 2020 Census since the Trump administration moved up the deadline for the decennial count to Sept. 30.
