Haven't responded to the 2020 census?
There is still time and several ways in which residents can respond:
•Online – visit 2020Census.gov
•Phone – call 844-330-2020 – phone lines are open 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. Central – seven days a week
If a census taker visits your home or calls you, please answer their questions. To prevent the need for an in-person visit, respond by phone or online.
The Census Bureau is also sending emails to low-responding blocks. The email is sent from 2020Census@subscription.census.gov. Please respond.
For non-English language support: 2020Census.gov/languages.
What can households expect when a census taker visits?
In most cases, census workers will make up to six attempts at each housing unit address to count possible residents. This includes leaving notification of the attempted visit on the door.
The notification will include reminder information on how to respond online, by paper or by phone. In addition, census workers may try to reach the household by phone to conduct the interview.
If they’re unable to do an in-person interview with a resident of an occupied housing unit, they will seek out proxy sources — a neighbor, a rental agent, a building manager or some other knowledgeable person familiar with the housing unit — to obtain as much basic information about the occupants as they can.
To confirm a census taker’s identity, the residents in Minnesota may contact the Chicago Region Census Center: 312-579-1500
The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The goal of the 2020 Census is to count everyone who lives in the United States on April 1, 2020 (Census Day).
