The U.S. Census Bureau announced late Monday that Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that the 2020 Census will conclude on Oct. 5, giving people until then to self-respond to the census questionnaire and to respond door-knocking efforts by census takers reaching out to homes that haven’t responded yet.
“The Secretary of Commerce has announced a target date of October 5, 2020 to conclude 2020 Census self-response and field data collection operations,” read the announcement.
