According to Nevada Census 2020, beginning on or around August 11, the U.S. Census Bureau will deploy its nonresponse follow-up operations.
Census takers, also known as enumerators and “door knockers,” will begin interviewing households that have not responded to the 2020 Census.
How to identify a U.S. Census Taker
Representatives working for the U.S. Census Bureau may be identified by the following:
- Census takers will be wearing a U.S. Census Bureau shirt, lanyard, and/or carrying a U.S. Census Bureau tote/laptop bag
- All census takers will be carrying a badge issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce that will include their name, photo, and a gold chip which resembles the one found on most credit cards
The U.S. Census Bureau is prioritizing the health and safety of the public and its employees. During the nonresponse follow-up process, all census takers will be trained on social distancing protocols, will be issued personal protective equipment (PPE), and will be required to follow all local guidelines for their use.
During the nonresponse follow-up process, Nevadans can still complete their 2020 Census questionnaire through one of three safe, confidential and quick ways from the comfort of their own homes: online, via phone (844-330-2020; for Spanish 844-468-2020), or mail in the hard copy questionnaire.
The 2020 Census takes about ten minutes to complete and only asks for basic information. It is confidential, and it does not include questions about financial information, social security numbers, political elections, or any other personal identification information.
