👉 Census fumes refer to the lingering concerns and impacts that arise from large-scale population counts, such as the U.S. Census of 2020. These include privacy worries over data collection and usage, the potential for government surveillance, and the stress and disruption caused by the census process itself, like long lines and property inspections. Additionally, there's a sense of unease about how census data might influence policy decisions, potentially affecting everything from school funding to voting district boundaries, leading to debates about transparency and fairness in how this data is managed and utilized.
