Many Missourians are historically under-counted in the Decennial Census. The historically under-counted include individuals who are isolated geographically, linguistically, and/or socially and individuals who feel threatened by the government. These may include young, minority, rural, low-income, Hispanic/LatinX, transient, and homeless Missourians and immigrants, young children, American-Indians, and college students. These individuals have to be convinced by local, trusted, sources that it is in their best interest to fill out the Census and that their responses will not be used against them in the future.
