Did you know that 2020 data on your community—from poverty, education, workforce, transportation, housing, and health—are at risk?

Given low response rates during the pandemic, the U.S. Census Bureau will only be able to release experimental estimates from the 2020 American Community Survey. These will be released in November 2021, for "a limited number of data tables for limited geographies."

More generally, funding for the all-important ACS is at risk, and low response rates present a problem in many states, particularly in rural areas, Native communities, and communities of color.

What can states and localities do about this important problem?

Join us on October 20, to find out what is already happening, and how your state and locality can get involved. We welcome leaders and stakeholders from business, philanthropy, community organizations, government agencies, and state legislatures to attend.
