1 in 3 Americans have not returned Census forms

The census bureau has reported that nearly one in three Americans failed to return their census questionnaires by Friday’s official deadline.

More forms were expected to be received over the weekend.

Census workers will not begin going door to door until May 1 to count people who did not return their questionnaires by mail.

As of early Friday, the mail participation rate was 68 percent. The mail participation rate, which the bureau is using this year for the first time, is the percentage of forms mailed back by households that received them.
