LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – For those who still need to fill out their census questionnaire, there is local help available.
The U.S. Census Bureau said this week that it has begun following up with households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census. Door-to-door visits are now taking place nationwide.
Based on the current self-response rate of 63.3 percent, the Census Bureau estimates it will need to visit about 56 million addresses to collect responses in person.
Up to 500,000 census takers across the country will go door to door to assist people in responding to the 2020 Census.
You may still be able to avoid a door-to-door visit by completing your census today.
Your response determines funding for health programs and services that your community relies on to stay healthy. It’s just nine easy questions.
Call 844-330-2020, go to www.my2020census.gov or mail back your survey if you received one. Everyone should respond.
