Proposed 2030 Census methodology changes

A Census Bureau rule could change who gets counted in 2030, excluding undocumented residents and some non-permanent legal immigrants. Boise's foreign-born population is about 7.9%, so the city's counted population could drop from roughly 238,000 to about 217,000 — closer to the 200,000 threshold for certain federal funds like CDBG.
