Delivery of 2020 Census Paper Questionnaires Begin

Paper Forms Sent to Households to Remind Them to Respond

APRIL 8, 2020 - About 64 million households across the nation are receiving a paper questionnaire in the coming days as the U.S. Census Bureau continues to ensure responding to the census is easier than ever. Of the nation's households, 46.2%<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovLzIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292L2VuL3Jlc3BvbnNlLXJhdGVzLmh0bWw_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTIwMjAwNDA4bXNwcnRzMWNjcHVwcnMmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.hEO3mSBCks1j6eb5vrmveY-57pODc32oGg-nI4TW-mg/br/77193610758-l> have already responded to the 2020 Census. The remaining households will receive a paper questionnaire starting today, April 8.

"If you're among the nearly half of all the nation's households that have responded already, thank you!" said Census Bureau Director Dr. Steven Dillingham. "It has never been easier to respond on your own, whether online at 2020census.gov, over the phone, or by mail - all without having to meet a census taker. It's something everyone can do while practicing social distancing at home to make a difference today, tomorrow and the next 10 years."

While nearly half of all households have responded online to the 2020 Census, some may prefer to receive a paper questionnaire. About 22% of the country<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5jZW5zdXMuZ292L25ld3Nyb29tL3ByZXNzLXJlbGVhc2VzLzIwMTkvY29udGFjdC1zdHJhdGVnaWVzLXZpZXdlci5odG1sP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0yMDIwMDQwOG1zcHJ0czFjY3B1cHJzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.ST6krBapB9cwpnSQtgU8TLl6PBz4y4q_4YqwV9xAL5k/br/77193610758-l> received a paper form at the beginning of the census.

Some areas where census takers were originally going to hand-deliver forms in person will now receive a letter in the mail from the Census Bureau reminding them to participate, including many households in Puerto Rico<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovLzIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292L2VuL25ld3MtZXZlbnRzL3ByZXNzLXJlbGVhc2VzL3B1ZXJ0by1yaWNvLTIwMjAtbGV0dGVyLmh0bWw_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTIwMjAwNDA4bXNwcnRzMWNjcHVwcnMmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.xezMrZ9NmR1_N0movMz47cf20shH4xN5r0lZUoh3YWY/br/77193610758-l>. Even if households don't receive a letter in the mail, the Census Bureau will drop off a census invitation and paper form as soon as it is safe to do so. Census takers will also follow up with all households that do not respond on their own.

Households receiving the paper questionnaire can still respond online or by phone, or they can return it by mail in the enclosed envelope. They can choose to respond online at 2020census.gov<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovLzIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292L2VuP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0yMDIwMDQwOG1zcHJ0czFjY3B1cHJzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.Mmv5K5KEH47upyCnZqu7rqJkY2KjZk-0MA4dIFgn1y4/br/77193610758-l> in English or 12 other languages<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovLzIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292L2VuL2xhbmd1YWdlcy5odG1sP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0yMDIwMDQwOG1zcHJ0czFjY3B1cHJzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.4-Q7WRX7OHr5FGSjDN4igFtAYxkzpGJgMZtyNRlh63g/br/77193610758-l>, or receive assistance through language guides and videos available in 59 languages.

"Once you have responded, please encourage your family, friends and loved ones to complete the census too," Dillingham said.

The public should respond for the number of people living at their address as of April 1. Responding now to the 2020 Census will minimize the need for census takers to follow up and visit homes in person later this year.

The 2020 Census is open for self-response online at 2020census.gov<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LjIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292Lz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249MjAyMDA0MDhtc3BydHMxY2NwdXBycyZ1dG1fY29udGVudD0mdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.DsbDTjzdhs8ZCue0JvxGgVEPoCb9BHNXIrY0kDEftjI/br/77193610758-l>, over the phone<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDgsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDguMTk5MzI2ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovLzIwMjBjZW5zdXMuZ292L2VuL3dheXMtdG8tcmVzcG9uZC9yZXNwb25kaW5nLWJ5LXBob25lLmh0bWw_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTIwMjAwNDA4bXNwcnRzMWNjcHVwcnMmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.JqFFwkCsGqgOLWQjXzIr2PKDJQP04c7hrpDlDxMzLBE/br/77193610758-l>, or by paper through the mail.

About the 2020 Census

The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census counts everyone who lives in the U.S. as of April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.
