What did the Census Bureau do to provide non-English language assistance?
Those households who received the census form in the mail had the option of requesting the questionnaire in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or Korean. Those individuals or households who believed that they were not included on a form or did not receive a form can use the Be Counted questionnaires that were available in public areas. The Be Counted forms were printed in English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean. The Census Bureau also launched the Census 2000 Language Program. The goal was to provide census information and to overcome language barriers that might prevent any individual from full participation in the decennial census. Census 2000 Language Assistance Guides used visual aids to assist respondents completing the Census 2000 mail/out/back questionnaires.
