Between regular censuses, the Census Bureau must publish current population data yearly for larger states, counties, and local governments, and every two years for smaller ones, as much as it can. This data can come from sampling or other reliable methods. If the Bureau cannot produce this data for some government, it must explain why to Congress.

(a) Between each population census required by section 141, the Secretary must, as much as is feasible, publish yearly, for every state, county, and local general-purpose government with 50,000 or more people, current data on total population and population characteristics. For smaller local general-purpose governments, the Secretary must publish this data every two years, as feasible. This data must be published for every state, county, and other local government that had data in the most recent census under section 141. The Secretary may use sampling or other methods that will produce current, thorough, and reliable data. (b) If the Secretary cannot produce and publish current total-population data during a fiscal year for some county or local government as required, the Secretary must send a report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. This report is due at least 90 days before the next fiscal year starts, and it must list each government left out and explain why.
