2020 Decennial Census: Conducting and Motivating the Count: Language Identification Card

August 18, 2020

The Census Bureau provides a Language Identification Card to 2020 Census enumerators to help identify the language spoken by a household.

When an enumerator encounters a language barrier at the door, they are able to show the Language Identification Card, which features a brief statement in 59 non-English languages.
