The Census Bureau says it's on track to count at least 99% of U.S. households. But that may not mean the count is complete or accurate.

Here's why; rushing to finish the count could mean:

  • more reliance on counting by "proxy" (relying on someone else for a household's data);
  • counting more households & filling in missing answers with administrative records (which can systematically omit groups already likely to be missed, such as kids or young adult men of color);
  • designating units as vacant without confirming whether people lived there on April 1 (Census Day).

* NRFU = nonresponse followup, the Census Bureau's door-knocking operation to enumerate households in-person or via other records, for households that did not fill out the census form on their own.

Filling out the census form right away means you'll avoid a knock at your door by a census taker whose job is to count your household in-person. But you can respond online, by phone, or mail until Oct. 31 Oct. 15. (on April 13 the Census Bureau had extended the original self-response timeframe through Oct. 31 due to COVID-19).

The HTC 2020 map still includes all its earlier information that you can now compare with local, county, and statewide self-response rates.

You can still use the map to:

  • View self-response rates by state, county, city, tract, tribal area, and legislative district.
  • Display information about where the Census Bureau will be sending mailings or hand-delivering census packets across the country for householders to fill out the 2020 census form (or where the Bureau will be counting people in-person from the start).
  • View the latest population characteristics (thru 2018) for your area, by tract, county, state, or legislative district.
  • Zoom to any area in the country to highlight hard-to-count tracts & display details about how much of the area's population may be at risk of an undercount.
  • Show local resources in hard-to-count areas such as public library branches.
  • Search by census tract, address, ZIP Code, landmark, county, state, or legislative district.
