摘要

WHEN THE 2020 United States census, scheduled for April ist, was planned, the areas of most concern were mapped. They include places like Deep East Texas, an area of 10,000 square miles north-east of Houston with a population of roughly 385,000 people. "We are a totally rural region," says Lonnie Hunt, the director of the Deep East Texas Council of Governments (detcog), an intergovernmental agency. "We have economically distressed people, rural people, senior citizens, minorities-we check box after box after box." In large parts of the region most people do not have internet access. Many live in places only accessible with four-wheel drives. Counting everybody in Deep East Texas was never going to be easy. Now it looks like it may be near impossible. "The coro-navirus has certainly complicated matters," says Mr Hunt. To help ensure an accurate count, detcog had hired a dozen census co-ordinators to go out to community events-sports matches, church services, school sports days-with information to persuade people to send their returns in, and internet hotspots and iPads with which to do it on the spot. Most of those events are now being cancelled. With people staying indoors, they probably will not encounter any of the workers meant to explain to them the importance of the census and get them to fill it in.
