The real, national census isn’t until 2020, but this is Census Awareness Weekend here in 20 counties of Georgia and South Carolina involved in the 2015 Census Test. “We’re asking all clergy to please mention it when they go to worship on this weekend, and to make the Internet accessible to those who may not have it at home, that they could do it through their congregations, their houses of worship, their churches, mosques, synagogues,” said Thurmond N. Tillman, a U.S. Census Bureau representative. Response to the experimental online census being conducted in the Savannah media market, which includes Bulloch and neighboring counties, will be used by the Census Bureau to help determine whether the 2020 census can be conducted online.
