One in ten Gen Z adults report zero face-to-face contact on a typical day

A Financial Times analysis of US Census data from the American Time Use Survey shows about 10% of Gen Z adults (ages 23–29) have zero face-to-face interactions on an average day, up from 3% before the pandemic and peaking at 10% in 2023; while the most social cohort recovered to about 83% of the day spent with others by 2025, the bottom quartile's in-person time remained essentially zero, with Americans also spending more time on screens and remote work rising to roughly 35% of workers in 2025.

Japan’s 2025 census shows record population decline, with Tokyo bucking the trend

Japan’s 2025 census shows total population falling to 123.05 million—down about 3.09 million (2.5%) from 2020—marking the steepest decline on record. The drop occurred in 45 prefectures, while Tokyo and Okinawa grew. Tokyo added about 199,000 people to stay the most populous, and households rose 2.3% to 57.12 million as average household size fell to 2.15, signaling more single-person homes.

Ireland’s 1926 census arrives online, shedding light on a global Irish diaspora

Nearly 3 million records from Ireland's 1926 census—the first full census of the independent state—are being released online for free, offering new insight into post-1922 life and a global diaspora of about 80 million people with Irish ancestry. The data, which include each person’s name, age, birthplace, language (including Irish), religion and occupation, show regional patterns (about 53% of those over 12 employed in agriculture, from 0.9% in Dublin to 75% in counties like Galway) and a low overall unemployment rate (~6%). The release helps recover records lost in the 1922 Public Record Office fire and enables genealogical and migration research, while noting privacy protections (initials for hospital, prison, and other sensitive records).

Migration slump slows U.S. county growth as immigration plummets

New Census Bureau data show international migration fell in about 9 out of 10 U.S. counties from 2024-25, dampening growth in large counties such as Los Angeles County, which lost roughly 54,000 people (-0.6%) to about 9.7 million; the national growth slowed to 0.5% as births minus deaths stayed steady and international migration plunged from about 2.8 million to 1.3 million (roughly a 55% drop). The fastest‑growing metros over 2024-45 were Ocala, Fla.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and Spartanburg, S.C.

Border-area metros lead 2025 slowdown as immigration drops

The 2025 U.S. Census estimates show slower population growth across U.S. metro areas, driven by weaker international migration and hurricane-driven departures; growth fell from 1.1% in 2024 to 0.6% in 2025, with the sharpest declines in border regions like Laredo, Yuma, and El Centro, while Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Atlanta, Phoenix and Charlotte led growth. Some Florida and South Carolina midsize metros posted notable gains, and exurban counties continued attracting migrants as housing costs rise and remote work persists.

Texas Suburbs Drive Population Boom as Immigration Slows, Census Finds

Texas added about 391,243 residents (1.2% growth) between July 2024 and July 2025, with suburban areas outside Austin, Dallas, and Houston leading the gains as international migration slows. Urban centers like Dallas County declined while suburbs such as Waller County near Houston surged, keeping Texas’ metro areas growing even as immigration wanes; Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth remained the largest contributors to overall population gains.

Immigration Slowdown Reshapes U.S. Metro Demographics

New Census Bureau estimates show net immigration fell in every U.S. metro area in 2025, with large urban and border counties hit hardest. About 75% of counties saw slower or negative overall population growth as births lag and immigration remains suppressed, with Los Angeles County losing about 54,000 residents, NYC around 12,000, and Miami-Dade more than 10,000, even as the nation overall grew by 1.8 million—one of the slowest growth rates in history. Experts warn that continuing low immigration could erode the country’s demographic cushion and labor force, posing long‑term economic and housing challenges for cities and regions that once depended on immigration to fuel growth.

Trump pushes citizenship question in 2030 census pilot, sparking fears of undercount

Trump pushes citizenship question in 2030 census pilot, sparking fears of undercount

The Trump administration is moving forward with a field test of a citizenship question as part of early planning for the 2030 U.S. Census, raising concerns that the question could become a routine part of the census and affect counts used for congressional apportionment, Electoral College votes, and federal funding. The test, limited to Alabama and South Carolina and using the American Community Survey form (which already includes a citizenship question), could depress response rates in immigrant communities and lead to undercounts. Democrats criticized the effort; past attempts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census were blocked by the Supreme Court, but the White House continues to push for changes to census rules that could reshape political power and resources.

Tiny Galaxies, Bigger Black Holes: New Census Boosts Dwarf-Galaxy AGN Presence

A comprehensive census of over 8,000 nearby galaxies finds that active galactic nuclei are more common in dwarf galaxies than previously thought—roughly 2–5%—though far less than in mid-sized or large galaxies, suggesting a mass-dependent increase in AGN activity and underscoring the need for improved detection of faint black holes.

California's Prop 50: Redistricting Battle and Political Implications

The article discusses the history and evolution of gerrymandering and redistricting in the U.S., highlighting the role of Supreme Court rulings, the impact of Census data, and how political parties have strategically used redistricting, especially around census years, to gain partisan advantage, with notable exceptions like Texas's mid-decade redistricting in 2003.
