The coronavirus has forced census officials to change how they count hard-to-reach populations, and might delay the final tally, officials warned
Information about filing out the 2020 census should arrive by mid-March. What information does the government want, and what ever happened to that citizenship question?Among the changes outlined by the bureau Sunday, nursing homes, prisons, halfway houses, college dorms and other “group quarters” who requested in-person visits from Census workers will be asked to submit responses online or have paper forms dropped off and picked up “to minimize in person contact with our census staff.
College students are supposed to be recorded at the dorm or residence they would have been living at April 1, even if they’ve been sent home because of the coronavirus. The bureau’s plan to count the country’s estimated half a million person homeless population, one of the most difficult groups to count, is also changing as soup kitchens and shelters weigh closing their doors.
Instead, the bureau is currently contacting service providers to see if their facilities will be open those days and if they can collect responses to the census themselves.
