Federal (U.S. Census Bureau)
Census 2020 Self Response Rate as of 7/14/20: National – 62.6%, California – 63.9%, Contra Costa County – 72.0%
Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, there is a significant adjustment to the Census Bureau's timeline. The Census Bureau issued a Statement on 2020 Census Operational Adjustments due to COVID-19 which indicated the Census Bureau is seeking statutory relief from Congress to allow for an additional 120 calendar days to deliver appropriation counts. This plan would extend the window for field data collection (non-response follow-up) and self-response through October 31, 2020. The extension will allow for apportionment counts to be delivered to the President by April 30, 2021, and redistricting data to be delivered to the states no later than July 31, 2021.
