Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 21, 2026 —
Florida TaxWatch has formed a new Census Institute, assembling an advisory board comprised of business and community leaders. The initiative’s primary objective is to promote a comprehensive and accurate enumeration of Florida’s residents for the forthcoming 2030 U.S. Census.
The establishment of the Census Institute seeks to counteract persistent undercounts in the state. Historically, these undercounts have resulted in billions of dollars in federal funding being lost to Florida and have also led to a reduction in the state’s representation in the U.S. Congress. The institute highlights the significant impact the census count has on the allocation of federal funds for vital public services.
The initiative underscores the importance of participation in the census process for all residents, with a particular focus on encouraging those communities that are typically harder to count to engage. The Census Institute aims to ensure that Florida receives its full share of federal resources and political representation by improving the accuracy of the 2030 count.
