Census Bureau Launches Mobile Questionnaire Assistance to Help People Respond Online to the 2020 Census

JULY 14, 2020 — More than 3,000 U.S. Census Bureau staff will begin going into communities with the lowest 2020 Census response rates to encourage and assist people with responding on their own to the 2020 Census. This operation, known as the Mobile Questionnaire Assistance (MQA) program, is a separate activity from census takers going door to door to count households that have not yet responded. MQA is part of the Census Bureau’s final push to encourage people to complete the 2020 Census before the Non-response Followup (NRFU) operation begins nationwide on August 11. Learn more here
