How Many People Have Returned the 2020 Census So Far?

Census-2020

The government spends years preparing to take the census every decade. So how are we doing thus far, especially considering we’re in the middle of a pandemic?

The U.S. Census Bureau has suspended sending people to homes to follow up on the Census, for obvious reasons, but a lot of people are answering the Census online. As of last week, the national response rate is 49.1%.

You may have heard in the news recently that the Trump administration was asking Congress to pass a law to change the deadlines as to when the federal government has to turn over Census data to the states in order to start the once-a-decade redistricting process.
