The Census is Coming for College Students!
Despite the unusual circumstances of this year, the 2020
Census is still happening and you still count. Census.gov released a press
briefing on March 15, 2020 describing how college students should be
counted. Below are some highlights:
· College students living on-campus will be
counted through the Group Quarters Operation whether they live in traditional
dorms, family house, or any other housing owned by the university.
· Students in colleges and universities
temporarily closed due to COVID-19 will still be counted as part of this
process even though they may be home on Census Day (April 1). Please
ensure you are only counted once and in the town you spend most of the year.
· If you are a student that is temporarily away
from school due to the pandemic, you should still be counted as though you were
at school.
