Why Do We Take the Census?

   U.S. Constitutional Mandate, Article 1, Section 2; and takes place every 10 years
   Apportion of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
   Conduct redistricting at the federal, state, and local levels
   Distribute over $675 billion federal dollars to state and local governments
   Provide statistical support for grant applications
   Help community plan for future needs

    The goal of the 2020 Census is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.

2020 Census vs 2010 Census

 • In 2020, we will introduce new technology to make it easier than ever for individuals
 to respond to the census.

 • For the 1st time, you will be able to respond online, by phone, or by mail. We will
 use data that the public has already provided to cut down on household visits.

 • We are building a more accurate address list and automating our field operations—
 all while keeping your information confidential and safe.

      • Health care
      • Transportation
      • Social services
      • Emergency response

Even More Uses for Census Data

                     nnva.gov/census   10
Confidentiality & Privacy

  It is important that individuals know their responses to the census have legal
  protections. The law requires the Census Bureau to keep private information
  confidential and use their responses only to produce statistics. The Census
  Bureau cannot publicly release an individual’s responses in any way that could
  identify them, their business, organization, or institution.

  All information collected by the Census Bureau under the authority of Sec. 9,
  Title 13 of the U.S. Code (13 U.S.C. 9) is strictly confidential. The same law
  that requires individuals to respond to the census also guarantees the
  confidentiality of respondents.

                                         nnva.gov/census                           11
Confidentiality & Privacy (cont.)

  By law the Census Bureau cannot share individual responses with anyone.
  That includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence
  Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, state or federal welfare departments, or
  governments and programs.

  Census workers must pass a security check. They are sworn to uphold a
  pledge of confidentiality. The penalty for violating the confidentiality of
  responses is up to a $250,000 fine and up to a five-year prison term.

  No court of law can have access to individual census responses. Not even the
  President of the United States can get access to this information.

Historically Undercounted Groups

                     nnva.gov/census   13
Response Outreach Area Mapper
(ROAM)
• ROAM is a public mapping
application that displays characteristics
of hard-to-count areas.

Low Response Score (LRS)

• LRS = predicted level of census
nonresponse at the tract level

• Values from 0-100

• For example: If LRS= 25, we are
estimating that 25% of households in
that tract will not self-respond to the
census.

Complete Count Committee (CCC)

•   The Census Bureau has asked governments/organizations to set up a
    CCC, if feasible.

•   Establishing a CCC which represents a broad range of community
    interests, will play a major role in conducting census outreach and
    promotion activities for its community and it’s members.

                                          nnva.gov/census                 19
Overview of CCCs

 • CCCs are one of the core strategic elements of the Partnership Program for the 2020 Census.

 • Census Bureau works with tribal, state and local governments, and community organizations
 to form CCCs around the country.

 • CCCs exist to plan and implement locally-based outreach campaigns that raise awareness of
 the census and ultimately drive participation.

                                            nnva.gov/census                                      20
Why Form A Complete Count Committee?

        Increase the response rate for residents returning their
        questionnaire through a focused, neighbor-to-neighbor
        program.

        Utilize the local knowledge, expertise, and influence of each
        Complete Count Committee member to design and implement a
        census awareness campaign targeted to the community.

        Bring together a cross section of community members whose
        focus is 2020 Census awareness.

Tribal and Government CCC

   A committee of state officials and community members usually appointed by the
   highest elected officials of a tribal, state, county or local government for the purpose
   of developing and implementing a census awareness campaign that motivates
   everyone to complete the census thoroughly and in a timely manner.

                                             nnva.gov/census                                  23
Community CCC

• A team of community leaders and/or organizations brought together to design an
outreach plan for low response score areas or populations in their community.

• Their focus is to encourage individuals in their community to self-respond online, on the
phone or by mail (if they received a questionnaire by mail).

• Includes representation from the following suggested areas of the community:
     • Business leaders,
     • Educators,
     • Media representatives,
     • Organization leaders,
     • Community-based organization leaders,
     • Faith-based organizations.

Key Points about the CCC Structure

  • CCCs utilize local knowledge, influence, and resources to educate communities and
    promote the census through locally based, targeted outreach efforts

  • CCCs provide a vehicle for coordinating and nurturing cooperative efforts between
    tribal, state, and local governments; communities; and the Census Bureau.

  • CCCs help the Census Bureau get a complete count in 2020 through partnerships
    with local governments and community organizations.

Outreach and Promotion

•   The primary goal for outreach and promotion is to develop community
    support and increase participation in the 2020 Census and increase self-
    response. Implementation of outreach activities will vary from one community
    to another.

•   Each community or organization needs to consider relevant factors in the
    design of its census outreach and promotion initiatives.
