Census 2020: The Census and People

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau:
• College students who are living at home should be counted at their home address.
• College students who live away from home should be counted at the on- or off-campus residence where they live and sleep most of the time, even if they are at home on April 1, 2020. 
• U.S. college students who are living and attending college outside the United States are not counted in the census.
• Foreign students living and attending college in the United States should be counted at the on- or off-campus residence where they live and sleep most of the time.

From the U.S. Census Bureau:

 

Group quarters are places where people live or stay in a group living arrangement. These places are owned or managed by an entity or organization that provides residents with housing and/or services.

College/university student housing are group quarters.

If you live or stay in group quarters, the Census Bureau will identify a group quarter administrator at your location to ensure that you are counted in the 2020 Census.

U.S. Census and U.S. Military:

People who live in housing units at military installations will be able to respond to the 2020 Census online, by phone, or by mail—just like those who live outside military installations.

The Census Bureau will ensure that military personnel who live in places such as barracks or military campgrounds are all counted, in much the same way that the Census Bureau counts others living in group quarters, such as students in university housing. 

Military personnel who are temporarily deployed overseas should be counted at their usual home address in the United States.
