Declaration and Purpose: <br />A. The United States Constitution directs a decennial census count of all persons <br />living in the United States. <br /> <br />B. Complete, accurate census data is of critical importance to all residents of <br />St. Anthony for equal political representation, fair distribution of federal and state <br />funding, and sound planning and investment infrastructure, real estate, business <br />development, and public policy and programming. <br /> <br />C. During the decennial census, the United States Census Bureau conducts Non- <br />Response Follow-up Operations (NRFU), when employees of the United States Census <br />Bureau visit households that have not yet submitted a census form. <br /> <br />D. Renters and others who live in multi-unit housing structures have historically <br />been at higher risk of being undercounted in the decennial census, with the number of <br />renter households in an area being the most influential variable affecting an area’s <br />census self- response rate; in other words, the more renters in an area, the lower the <br />self-response rate of that area. <br /> <br />E. The risk of an undercount is compounded in areas with high concentrations of <br />communities that have been consistently undercounted in the past and who are more <br />likely to be renters, including low income households, communities of color, Native <br />American/American Indian communities, immigrants and refugees, and young people. <br /> <br />F. Multi-unit housing structures can be difficult for Census Bureau employees to <br />enter due to security barriers. <br /> <br />G. It is critical that Census Bureau employees have access to multi-unit housing <br />structures during the decennial census, so they can reach households that have not yet <br />participated. <br /> <br />H. 13 U.S. Code § 223 authorizes Census Bureau employees to access “any hotel, <br />apartment house, boarding or lodging house, tenement, or other building”. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25
