With all the craziness the response to the Census is expectedly down. They are encouraging people to do it online but that doesn’t work well for the older crowd. Interesting to see if they can find a way to get an accurate read this time around.

They need to extend it and send out a reminder in a few weeks.

It just opened up recently, but the response is down from where it was this time in 2010, looks like they already extended deadline to at least mid august.

I would assume that, if response is still down, they'll start sending people door to door in say.. mid june or so. Once all this Covid-19 crap has died down.

People are stuck in their homes with nothing to do. Seems like responses should be up.

I did it online a week or two ago. Took about 4 minutes.

Go do it if you haven’t yet. Really easy.

Hopefully only about four people will turn in the census in New York City.

Oh.

In the span of 3 days, we got 4 requests to fill the census out online. Then got one more a week after I'd filled the thing out.

that can be explained by less people being counted in two or more different places due to the coronavirus

They suspended field operations (census takers) indefinitely. It's was scheduled mid-April through August so it'll be delayed at least a month. Likely start back up in June.

Still gives them enough time to complete the census.
