The Census Bureau is working to ensure that the 2020 Census will be accessible for everyone. This FAQ—published jointly with the National Disability Rights Network—provides answers to questions we see most often about census operations and accessibility.
This issue brief, published jointly with the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN), describes the importance of counting people with disabilities in the 2020 census. The brief also explores how people with disabilities will be counted and related challenges. If this population is not counted accurately, the result may be unequal political representation and unequal access to vital public and private resources for people with disabilities and their communities.
