Beginning in March, 2020 Census of Guam workers will be conducting what’s known as Enumeration. They will be going door to door to conduct in-person interviews to count every single resident of the island. Census workers will ask several questions, including the age, race and ethnicity, level of education, and work status of every individual living in the household. They will also ask questions about the housing structure, such as the year it was built and the number of rooms.
