Field operations for the 2020 Census will start in Colorado next week, according to a news release from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Next week, census takers will leave invitation packets at the front doors of households that have not already responded. The goal is to reach people who don’t receive mail at their homes, according to the news release.

The packets will include a questionnaire and a Census ID, so residents can respond online, by phone or by mail.

Census takers will follow all social distancing protocols by wearing personal protective equipment and avoiding contact at the door, according to the news release.
