Every household will have the option of responding <br />online, by mail, or by phone. <br />Nearly every household will receive an invitation to participate <br />in the 2020 Census from either a postal worker or a census worker. <br />How the 2020 Census will invite <br />everyone to respond <br />95% of households will receive their census invitation in the mail. <br />Almost 5% of households <br />will receive their census invitation <br />when a census taker drops it off. <br />In these areas, the majority of <br />households may not receive mail <br />at their home’s physical location <br />(like households that use PO <br />boxes or areas recently affected <br />by natural disasters). <br />Less than 1% of households <br />will be counted in person by a census <br />taker, instead of being invited to <br />respond on their own. We do this <br />in very remote areas like parts of <br />northern Maine, remote Alaska, and <br />in select American Indian areas that <br />ask to be counted in person. <br />Note: We have special procedures to count people who don’t live in households, such as students living in <br />university housing or people experiencing homelessness.
