Texts, not door-knocks: Census outreach shifts amid virus
Reading now: 426
ORLANDO, Fla. – In tiny Munfordville, Kentucky, the closure of the public library has cut people off from a computer used only for filling out census forms online.
In Minneapolis, a concert promoting the once-a-decade count is now virtual. In Orlando, Florida, advocates called off knocking on doors in a neighborhood filled with new residents from Puerto Rico.
Across the U.S., the coronavirus has waylaid efforts to get as many people as possible to participate in the count, which determines how much federal money goes to communities.
The outbreak and subsequent orders by states and cities to stay home and avoid other people came just as the census ramped up for most Americans two weeks ago.
