The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is issuing will extend the comment period on the Proposed 2020 Census Residence Criteria and Residence Situations, which was published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2016. The comment period for the proposed criteria, which would have ended on August 1, 2016, is now extended until September 1, 2016.
The Census Bureau is committed to counting every person in the 2020 Census once, only once, and in the right place. The fundamental reason that the decennial census is conducted is to fulfill the Constitutional requirement (Article I, Section 2) to apportion the seats in the U.S. House of Representatives among the states. Thus, for a fair and equitable apportionment, it is crucial that the Census Bureau counts everyone in the right place during the decennial census.
The residence criteria are used to determine where people are counted during each decennial census.
For more information on the Proposed 2020 Census Residence Criteria and Residence Situations please see the original document of proposed criteria and request for comment published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2016 (81 FR 42577).
