7. Remember this: the Census questionaire did not have a citizen question

I think the folks I interviewed were quite aware of this.
All we wanted was the basic statistics

Some of the worst undercounting was in Alabama and Mississippi.
Texas was undercounted also, mostly due to the late start because of COVID. Normally the Census starts in June, but we did not get going until September.

I really enjoyed doing it and I hope I am healthy enough to do it again in 5 years. If the citizenship question gets on the form though I will not do it even though it is good money. I just don't want to contribute to anything happening to someone I interviewed.
