Why Do We Take the Census? U.S. Constitutional Mandate, Article 1, Section 2; and takes place every 10 years Apportion of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives Conduct redistricting at the federal, state, and local levels Distribute over $675 billion federal dollars to state and local governments Provide statistical support for grant applications Help community plan for future needs The goal of the 2020 Census is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place. nnva.gov/census 5
2020 Census vs 2010 Census • In 2020, we will introduce new technology to make it easier than ever for individuals to respond to the census. • For the 1st time, you will be able to respond online, by phone, or by mail. We will use data that the public has already provided to cut down on household visits. • We are building a more accurate address list and automating our field operations— all while keeping your information confidential and safe. nnva.gov/census 6

How Is Census Data Used? • Assisting tribal, federal, state and local governments in planning, and implementing programs and services in: • Education • Health care • Transportation • Social services • Emergency response • Distribution of more than $675 billion annually in federal funds • Redistricting of state legislative districts • Forecasting of future transportation needs • Determining areas eligible for housing assistance and rehabilitation loans, and many others nnva.gov/census 9
Confidentiality & Privacy It is important that individuals know their responses to the census have legal protections. The law requires the Census Bureau to keep private information confidential and use their responses only to produce statistics. The Census Bureau cannot publicly release an individual’s responses in any way that could identify them, their business, organization, or institution. All information collected by the Census Bureau under the authority of Sec. 9, Title 13 of the U.S. Code (13 U.S.C. 9) is strictly confidential. The same law that requires individuals to respond to the census also guarantees the confidentiality of respondents. nnva.gov/census 11
Confidentiality & Privacy (cont.) By law the Census Bureau cannot share individual responses with anyone. That includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, state or federal welfare departments, or governments and programs. Census workers must pass a security check. They are sworn to uphold a pledge of confidentiality. The penalty for violating the confidentiality of responses is up to a $250,000 fine and up to a five-year prison term. No court of law can have access to individual census responses. Not even the President of the United States can get access to this information. nnva.gov/census 12
Historically Undercounted Groups nnva.gov/census 13
Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) • ROAM is a public mapping application that displays characteristics of hard-to-count areas. Low Response Score (LRS) • LRS = predicted level of census nonresponse at the tract level • Values from 0-100 • For example: If LRS= 25, we are estimating that 25% of households in that tract will not self-respond to the census. nnva.gov/census 14

Complete Count Committee (CCC) • The Census Bureau has asked governments/organizations to set up a CCC, if feasible. • Establishing a CCC which represents a broad range of community interests, will play a major role in conducting census outreach and promotion activities for its community and it’s members. nnva.gov/census 19
Overview of CCCs • CCCs are one of the core strategic elements of the Partnership Program for the 2020 Census. • Census Bureau works with tribal, state and local governments, and community organizations to form CCCs around the country. • CCCs exist to plan and implement locally-based outreach campaigns that raise awareness of the census and ultimately drive participation. nnva.gov/census 20
Why Form A Complete Count Committee? Increase the response rate for residents returning their questionnaire through a focused, neighbor-to-neighbor program. Utilize the local knowledge, expertise, and influence of each Complete Count Committee member to design and implement a census awareness campaign targeted to the community. Bring together a cross section of community members whose focus is 2020 Census awareness. nnva.gov/census 21

Tribal and Government CCC A committee of state officials and community members usually appointed by the highest elected officials of a tribal, state, county or local government for the purpose of developing and implementing a census awareness campaign that motivates everyone to complete the census thoroughly and in a timely manner. nnva.gov/census 23
Community CCC • A team of community leaders and/or organizations brought together to design an outreach plan for low response score areas or populations in their community. • Their focus is to encourage individuals in their community to self-respond online, on the phone or by mail (if they received a questionnaire by mail). • Includes representation from the following suggested areas of the community: • Business leaders, • Educators, • Media representatives, • Organization leaders, • Community-based organization leaders, • Faith-based organizations. nnva.gov/census 24
