Census takers are visiting homes that haven’t yet responded to the 2020 Census, but there’s still time to respond online before they come by.

U.S. Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham announced last night that field data collection for the 2020 Census will now end by September 30, 2020 (a month ea...rlier than previously scheduled). Self-response options will also close on that date to permit the commencement of data processing. He stated that under this plan, the Census Bureau intends to meet a similar level of household responses as collected in prior censuses, including outreach to hard-to-count communities. To complete the count, he stated that they will improve the speed of the count without sacrificing completeness. As part of the revised plan, they will conduct additional training sessions and provide awards to enumerators in recognition of those who maximize hours worked. They will also keep phone and tablet computer devices for enumeration in use for the maximum time possible. Dillingham stated that once the Census Bureau has the data from self-response and field data collection in the secure systems, they plan to review it for completeness and accuracy, streamline its processing, and prioritize apportionment counts to meet the statutory deadline. In addition, they plan to increase our staff to ensure operations are running at full capacity.
