Recent pandemic migrants are more likely than those who moved earlier in the outbreak to have relocated due to financial stress.

The coronavirus outbreak inflicted disruptions on 2020 census operations, raising questions about how accurate the decennial count will be.

The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading early this year.

Those who have not responded to the census so far are likely to be from groups the census previously has struggled to count accurately.

If unauthorized U.S. immigrants aren't counted, 3 states could each lose a seat they otherwise would have had and 3 others each could gain one.

37% of those ages 18 to 29 say they moved, someone moved into their home or they know someone who moved because of the outbreak.

The COVID-19 pandemic sent many on the move to places other than their usual residence – and they may not know where or how to be counted.

Overall readiness to respond to the census has inched up since earlier this year, even as some key hard-to-count groups remain less enthusiastic than others.

The 2020 census began in Alaska in January, and the first numbers will be published by the end of the year.

As the 2020 census gets underway, most U.S. adults are aware of it and are ready to respond, but many do not know what it asks or how to participate.
