The federal census is a massive undertaking in the best of circumstances. And this year does not provide the best of circumstances.
This or any census tries to get a head count of every single person in the country centered around the first of April, but this April 1st found a huge chunk of the population staying home, avoiding the spread of Covid-19.
California Complete Count and Communities for a New California are among the partners working to get Californians counted despite the difficulty. Ditas Katague, CCC director, visits with Pablo Rodriguez from CNC.
