U.S. Census Bureau Resumes Field Operations in Collin, Denton and Tarrant County
DENTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - The U.S. Census Bureau, in coordination with federal, state and local health officials, will begin to drop off 2020 Census questionnaire packets at front doors of households in Denton, Fort Worth and Richardson on Tuesday, May 26.
This is done in areas where the majority of households do not receive mail at their physical address. The Census Bureau began hand-delivering census materials on March 15 but suspended all fieldwork for this operation on March 18 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Temporary field staff were trained to observe all social distancing protocols and will wear official government-provided personal protective equipment for their safety and the safety of the public.
The Census Bureau will deliver 2020 Census invitations and paper questionnaires at the front doors of roughly 5.1 million stateside households and in Denton County.
People can respond online, by phone or by using the paper form in the packet.
