Census takers tracking down seasonal homeowners

Getting the accurate numbers for the 2020 Census is an ongoing challenge, especially in places like Door County that has many second-home owners and family vacation cottages.  Door County reported earlier this month that only 46.2 percent of the households had completed the 2020 Census.  A major cause of this could be that seasonal homeowners are confused about which home address they should use when responding to the census.  Enumerator Rich Olson explains the process taken to confirm a residence’s household number while canvassing neighborhoods and rural areas.

 

 

Olson notes that the second-hand information can be documented as a “proxy” and go towards the census statistics.  The deadline for the 2020 Census is September 30 and you can still respond online, by phone, or by mail.
