Households can still respond now by completing and mailing back the paper questionnaire they received, by responding online at my2020census.gov, or by phone at 844-330-2020. Those who respond will not need to be visited to obtain their census response.
The needle continues to move upward for Kansas' self-response to the 2020 Census. Our state moved up another tick and now stands at 65.8% for self-response. That's 13th best in the nation. (Minnesota leads the way at 71.5%.) The national self-response average is 62.0%.
We will continue to aggressively encourage Kansas households to complete the census questionnaire online, by phone of mail through October 31. This push will continue and even while census takers are dispatched in mid August to personally visit non-responding households. Visit the 2020 Census response rate map to see how your city county and census tract are performing.

Ready! Set! Call for the Count! The working parts of US Census weeklong push to increase 2020 Census self-response rates are on point thanks to a great team and partners making things happen!
“To renew enthusiasm among Kansas communities, US Census planning a collaborative statewide push to engage Kansans in a “Call for the Count” week. Call for the Count” is very basic and built on the notion of a phone tree. And it’s easily done from the comfort of your home. This can be a call, a text, an email, or outreach via your favorite social media platforms!
How does it work? – Ask at least five co-workers, friends, neighbors or family members to fill out their Census form. And then ask those who agree to call five of their friends and family members. And so on. The concept is in keeping with the idea trusted voices will be the ones to convince others — especially those hard-to reach -- to fill out the Census
Here is information on the census.
