ORLANDO, Fla. — U.S. Census Bureau officials on Thursday recapped the challenges of executing the nation’s head count, which included hijacked personal protective equipment for census takers, difficulty getting access to tribal lands because of pandemic restrictions and worry that nonprofits wouldn’t want to partner with the statistical agency because of the Trump administration’s failed effort to add a citizenship question to the census.
Tim Olson, who led the data collection efforts for the 2020 census, acknowledged that bureau officials, before the start of the head count, worried that community groups and nonprofits wouldn’t want to partner with the agency in encouraging people to participate because of the Trump administration’s failed efforts to gather citizenship information on U.S. residents.
