Door knockers are preparing to start visiting homes that have yet to fill out forms for the 2020 census as early as mid-July, the Census Bureau says.
For past counts, in-person visits by the bureau's workers have helped boost census participation among communities of color and other historically undercounted groups who are less likely to take part on their own in the constitutionally mandated count of every person living in the country.
But in a press release on Friday, the bureau says it's now planning a"soft launch" next month to"ensure systems, operations and field plans work as they should." The bureau is expected to announce by the end of this month which six areas of the country may first see census workers at their doors, wearing personal protective equipment and trained in social distancing, for the nonresponse follow-up operation.
By Aug. 11, door knockers will be fanning out across the country to follow up with unresponsive homes through the end of October, when the bureau says it plans to stop collecting responses.warning that these door-to-door visits to complete the once-a-decade count"may be less effective" in a"post-COVID-19 environment," given concerns that close interactions could increase the spread of the coronavirus.
That, in turn, would affect the census results used to determine each state's share of congressional seats, Electoral College votes andAs of Thursday, more than 90 million households have, over the phone or through the mail, bringing the national self-response rate to 60.9%.
