n mid-March 2020, your household will receive a notice in the mail from the US Census Bureau asking you to take the census online and giving you the website address to go to to fill out the questionnaire. Most areas of the country will likely respond online.
Areas of the US that are less likely to respond online will receive in the mail a paper questionnaire with their notice. The notice will also include information about how to respond by phone or online.
Every household has the option of responding
online, by phone or by mail.
Online responses will be available in English, Spanish, Chinese (simplified), Vietnamese, Korean, Russian, Tagalog, Polish, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese and Japanese.
Phone responses will be available in English, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese), Vietnamese, Korean, Russian, Tagalog, Polish, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Japanese.
Paper responses will be available in English and Spanish.
If you miss the initial notice in the mail, you will receive reminder letters and postcards. It doesn't matter which initial notice you get or how you get it, the US Census Bureau will follow up in person with all household that don't respond.
