Don’t forget to respond: 2020 Census reminder postcards arriving this week

The U.S. Census Bureau is beginning to send reminder notice postcards to an estimated
69 million households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census. About 53.4% of households across the country have already responded since invitations began arriving in mailboxes on March 12.

Those households that have not yet responded to the census will receive an in person visit by a census taker to collect their information later this summer.

Starting April 27-May 9 households will receive another reminder postcard in the mail. Responding now to the 2020 Census will minimize the need for a census taker to visit your home later this year. For more information, visit 2020census.gov.

  1. Just as in the 2010 Census, I have not received anything from them. The website says you need to wait until you get a code from them in the mail. Guess they don’t want to count me.

  2. I apologize for your not getting anything on behalf of the Census Bureau. You can go online to 2020Census.gov and use your address to complete the survey unless you have a non-city type of address. If your address is non-city type, then you will be receiving a paper survey left at your door. This Covid 19 situation has delayed the drop off of the paper survey.
