Wednesday Was Census Day. Did You Respond? Most Escambia Residents Have Not.
April 2, 2020
Wednesday was Census Day – the day that determines who is counted in the 2020 Census and where they are counted. But it went mostly unnoticed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. Census Bureau said 38.4% of Americans had been counted as of Wednesday, and 37.6% of Escambia County residents had responded to the 2020 Census since invitations began arriving in mailboxes March 12-20.
The Census Bureau is strongly encouraging the public to respond to the 2020 Census online using a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet. Those that don’t respond will receive a paper questionnaire April 8-16, and a continued non-response will eventually lead to a visit from a Census worker.
COVID-19 has forced the Census Bureau to suspend field operations and the hiring of up to a half million temporary census takers.

i was suprised how easy and quick it was to do on line. 10 minutes tops.
I’ve been sent 2 internet instruction notices. neither worked, plus no one ever answered phone calls. I’m awaiting good old fashioned paper questionnaire.
I did it online. Crazy easy and fast. Took me less than 10 minutes to do the entire house hold. Also, I like the idea of basing the checks on whether or not you followed the law and filled out the paperwork.
High five mat! Most excellent idea!
Yes plus voted in the primary by mail a month ahead of time. Even got tax return already.
Here is an idea….
Stimulous checks are only going
to the ones who respond to the Census.
I would bet the response would jump to
99% by tomorrow.
