2020 Census

The latest Utah news from Tuesday evening, December 8, 2020.

Salt Lake County had a higher census response rate than the state average, but response rates were slower in lower income parts of the valley.

The 2020 census count was supposed to end on Wednesday, but a federal judge has told the Census Bureau to continue counting for the time being. Still, the count could end any day, depending on how the court case plays out, and the count is far from complete on the Navajo Nation.

The Navajo Nation has some of the lowest census response rates in the country, and some are worried there won’t be enough time to get an accurate count.
