The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) — in alignment with Alabama Counts — announced Wednesday the U.S. Census Bureau has now appointed the final deadline for the 2020 census as Thursday, Oct. 15. This new date was set after the bureau announced a previous Oct. 31 deadline last week.
Over 99.9% of households in Alabama have been accounted for in the 2020 census, as have many other U.S. states. As such, field data collection and other census-related operations, such as self-response, are ending nationwide earlier than expected.
