Happy Wednesday Census Partner!

Current Response Rates can be found at https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html and are updated M-F at 3:00pm. I will try to send out an update every Tuesday so that we can see what happened over the weekend. You can keep an eye on your area and compare it to other areas across the nation. It shows how cities and towns across the country are now responding. You can narrow it by state, city, county, etc.

Census Bureau to Email Households to Encourage Response to the 2020 Census (https://2020census.gov/en/news-events/press-releases/2020-email.html?utm_campaign=20200728chc20s1ccallrs&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery )

JULY 27, 2020 — The U.S. Census Bureau announced that it will begin emailing households in low-responding areas to encourage them to respond to the 2020 Census.

Millions of emails will be sent this week and then grow in numbers and continue into September. These emails supplement a final campaign reminding people to respond to the 2020 Census on their own, as census takers begin asking households to respond to the census.

The messages alert households in low-response areas that time is running out and their response to the 2020 Census is important for their communities. The email messages will invite people to respond online at 2020census.gov.

People who receive the email and haven’t already responded should click on the link provided and complete the census online. It’s easy, safe and important.

The emails will go to all households that the Census Bureau has contact information for in census block groups with a response rate lower than 50%. This will include households who may have already responded. In total, the Census Bureau expects to email more than 20 million households in these low-responding areas.

The email messages will come from 2020census [at] subscriptions.census.gov and will give recipients the option to opt out of receiving future messages. The Census Bureau is also considering sending text messages to areas that have low response.

The Census Bureau’s recent success with contacting households by email to participate in the Household Pulse Survey prompted the agency to add these methods to support the 2020 Census. This contact method will help increase response rates and reduce the need for in-person follow-up.

The Census Bureau is continuing to review the use of text messages and will make an announcement prior to deploying that outreach. In addition to emailing households, the Census Bureau is increasing other outreach efforts during one last push to encourage everyone to respond to the census online, by phone or by mail. The Census Bureau recently announced that it has launched Mobile Questionnaire Assistance, a program that offers assistance with responding at locations such as grocery stores and pharmacies in low-responding areas.

Additionally, the Census Bureau has expanded its paid advertising—launching a series of new advertisements aimed at increasing online response and expanding to a total of 45 non-English languages receiving some level of paid media support.

Households have until October 31 to respond to the 2020 Census. However, census takers have begun following up with households that haven’t responded yet in select areas and will begin following up with households nationwide in August.

Household Pulse Survey Updates

Based on responses collected July 9 through July 14, the Household Pulse Survey estimates that during the COVID-19 pandemic:

• 50.1% of American adults live in households which have experienced a loss in employment income
• 35.1% of American adults expect to experience a loss in employment income
• 10.8% of Americans lived in households where there was either sometimes or often not enough to eat in the previous 7 days
• 40.6% of adults had delayed getting medical care in the previous 4 weeks
• 25.3% of respondents reported having little interest or pleasure in doing things more than half the days/nearly every day last week
• 23.3% of respondents reported feeling down more than half the days/nearly every day last week
• 33.8% of respondents reported feeling anxious or nervous more than half the days/nearly every day last week
• On average, households spent $212.79 a week to buy food at supermarkets, grocery stores, online, and other places to be prepared and eaten at home
• 26.4% of adults either missed last month’s rent or mortgage payment, or had slight or no confidence that their household could make the next payment on time

This Pulse Survey information is one of the reasons we need to all work together to ensure that everyone is counted in the 2020 Census. Vital programs are funded for the next 10 years based on the Census data gathered – let’s work together to make sure your community is counted!
