In Service-Based Enumeration, the Census Bureau counts people who receive services at the following types of locations:
Beginning in February 2020, the Census Bureau contacted facility administrators to obtain important identifying information about their facilities to assist with the enumeration process. During this time, a date and time was set for the facility administrator to conduct the enumeration, and a preferred enumeration method was selected.
In Service-Based Enumeration, a Census Bureau representative conducted an in-person interview with each person who was served or stayed at a given service-based location on Census Day.
Shelters could also choose paper response data collection as their enumeration method. In this case, a Census Bureau representative met with the group quarters administrator to obtain a paper listing of census response data for each person who was served or stayed at the facility on Census Day.
