An estimated 52 million households have yet to fill out the census form.The first round of door-to-door operations will take place in West Virginia, Idaho, Maine, Kansas City, New Orleans, and the Oklahoma City area.
The door-to-door operations were originally scheduled to begin in May, but were delayed due to the public health concerns of the pandemic. More details on the next phase of operations for the Census are included in the source article.
