In any case, census takers, who go door to door, fell short of reaching all the households that hadn't filled out the census form in many pockets of the country. According to the Census Bureau, census takers reached 99.9% of the households they needed to contact in most of the 248 census areas the bureau designated across the U.S. The second-most accurate information after self-responses comes from household members being interviewed by census takers. Information was obtained by these methods for almost 40% of the census takers' caseload, according to the Census Bureau. How much time the Census Bureau has to crunch the numbers is still being fought in courts and in Congress.

SAN ANTONIO – What began last spring by focusing on the U.S. Census has transitioned to preparing Trinity University students to vote in the November presidential election.

Some predict a historic undercount of Native Americans in this year's census as the coronavirus complicates efforts to encourage participation. Only 24% of residents of Montana tribal areas had been counted as of Sept. 1, woefully lagging the national rate of 85%. The distances, language barriers and wariness of giving up details about sometimes-crowded living conditions have long made it difficult to get an accurate census count, especially given a distrust of the federal government rooted in a history of broken treaties. But the Census Bureau estimated those living on reservations were undercounted by 4.9%, twice as much as any other group. Most people filled out this year's census online, another challenge in tribal areas where many homes don't have internet access.
