As of Monday, March, 23, only 18.5% of North Dakota households had returned responses to the Census compared to a national average of 19.2%. Responses from South Dakota and Minnesota exceeded the national average at 21.5% and 23.3% respectively.
The U.S. Census Bureau continues to carefully monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and follow the guidance of federal, state and local health authorities.
In order to do all we can do to help slow the spread of coronavirus, 2020 Census field operations have been suspended until April 1. The Census Bureau is taking this step to help protect the health and safety of the American public, Census Bureau employees, and everyone going through the hiring process for temporary census taker positions.
In late May, census takers around the nation will begin visiting households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census to help complete the count. As we continue to monitor the evolving COVID-19 outbreak, we will adjust census takers and survey operations as necessary in order to follow the guidance of federal, state and local health authorities.
In the meantime, now is a good time for residents to complete census questionnaire on their own from the comfort of your their own home. Residents can respond online, over the phone or by mail—all without having to meet a census taker.
