Connecticut Nonprofits Say An Accurate Count Is Crucial In 2020 Census

Back •  Published: January 6, 2020

It’s officially 2020, which means you may see a census taker knocking on your door this Spring.

The decennial census also will be online. This hour, we talk with NPR’s Hansi Lo Wang about efforts to count everyone who lives in the United States, and why it matters.

And later, we hear from local nonprofits about whether the state of Connecticut is spending enough on Census outreach. Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz will join us to talk about the state’s efforts.

Got a question about the 2020 census?
