Regions
California has launched a statewide effort to ensure an accurate and complete count of Californians in the 2020 Census. That’s why the California Complete Count Office grouped California’s 58 counties into 10 regions based on their hard-to-count populations, like-mindedness of the counties, capacity of community-based organizations within the counties, and state Census staff workload capabilities.
These regions know their populations best. Targeted outreach and communication efforts toward hard-to-count populations in these areas will help toward the goal of a complete count in 2020.

California Statewide Community-Based Organization Partners (CBOs)
The California Complete Count – Census 2020 Office announced Friday, March 13, 2019 a second round of organizations it will partner with to encourage participation of all Californians in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 decennial count. These 13 community-based organizations (CBOs) will focus their statewide outreach on demographic groups considered particularly hard to count.
The State identified 15 populations (PDF) that are least likely to respond to the 2020 Census and therefore considered California’s hardest to count residents. Organizations targeting 9 of those 15 populations submitted proposals. The State will award another round of contracts after June 2019 to capture the remaining demographic groups and augment the first round of groups.

The RPM will also be coordinating and collaborating with all local and Tribal Governments, CBOs, foundations, and other interested stakeholders in their assigned region.
