The U.S. Census Bureau announced earlier in April\u00a0that it plans to conduct a census test, beginning October 3, 2016, in selected areas within St. Louis, Mo., and Buncombe County, N.C.<\/p>\n
The goal of the 2020 Census is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place<\/em>. Towards that goal, the Census Bureau will test new technologies for the address canvassing operation, which is the process of identifying and noting the locations of houses, apartments, shelters and other residences. This test will use\u00a0new methods and data sources to detect new residential developments\u00a0and to\u00a0help the Census Bureau refine its operational plans for the 2020 Census.<\/p>\n The Bureau chose the test areas based on their mix of housing types in urban, suburban, and rural areas that have experienced changes in their population since 2010.<\/p>\n The test will end on\u00a0December\u00a016, 2016.<\/p>\n Conducting the census test will require hiring approximately 150 temporary census staff for each site. Pay will range from $13.84 to $19.21 per hour. Recruiting is now underway for these local jobs.
