Story and Visualization by Melanie Kiper | Updated 11/4/2020

For the 2020 Census, the overall final national self-response return rate was 67.0%. But the rate varied significantly among counties across the country. With Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, having the highest response rate of 84.9%, and Rich county, Utah, having the lowest response rates of 13.3%.

For the 2010 Census the national rate was 66.5%; for 2000 it was 67%; for 1990 it was 65%.

The map shows the response rates for counties, for the 2020, 2010, and 2000 Censuses. The tables list the response rates and the changes in the rate between 2020 and the other two decennial censuses.

Note: Counties in white do not have data available.
