Census Response Rates Are Already Looking Segregated
Happy Census Day! Wherever you are living TODAY is what you mark on your census questionnaire. (Unless you're a student displaced from off-campus housing due to Coronavirus.)
The 2020 Census has been available for more than two weeks now, and we’re starting to see where people are filling it out—and where people are being missed. The Census Bureau updates a national map of response rates daily, including data from individual census tracts, so you can see how your neighborhood is responding.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
