Census bureau modifies 2020 operations due to
COVID-19 and to better count college students
Bring lessons anywhere with

Everyone counts
in 2020.

The U.S. Census Bureau
continues to monitor the
coronavirus (COVID-19)
situation and follow
the guidance of federal,
state and local health
authorities. The census
bureau is adjusting some
operations with two
key principles in mind:
protecting the health and
safety of census staff and
the public, and fulfilling
statutory requirements
to deliver 2020 census
counts on schedule.
Per the census bureau's
residential criteria,
students living away from
home at school should
be counted at school in
most cases, even if they
are temporarily elsewhere
due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Even if at home
when they complete the
census, students should

However, about 35%
chose the drop off/pick
up option to respond,
which allows students to
self respond. The census
bureau is contacting those
schools to ask whether
they would like to change
that preference in light of
emerging situations.
The census bureau
plans to offer assistance
with responding to the
2020 census.
Currently, the census
bureau plans to offer
this assistance across
the country beginning
April 13, delaying from
the previous start date of
March 30.
The planned completion
date for data collection
for the 2020 census is
July 31, 2020. That date
can be adjusted by the
census bureau as the
situation dictates in order
to achieve a complete and
accurate count.
