Every ten years during the Census, a large percentage of the United States’ population does not respond to the Census. Despite this, the Census Bureau must count all individuals, whether or not they respond. Studies have shown that lower self-response rates are correlated with less accurate results, and the accuracy of the Census is not the same for all groups. Early identification of these individuals is important to focus efforts during the Census, but Census 2020 has been especially challenging given recent events. Many communities in Hawaii responded at a rate lower than what one might expect in a “normal” census year, meaning that this census will have missed some of the more marginalized in our communities. When a group of individuals is not represented in the Census, they are not represented in our system of government. The communities in which they live do not receive needed funding for important social support programs, and the very existence of these individuals may not even be known. All of this results in the marginalization of individuals who are already living on the margins.
