AP Analysis: 2020 census faces challenge in Detroit
Charles Jones Jr. stands outside his home in Detroit, Nov. 5, 2019. Jones says he will participate in the census and hopes his neighbors make sure they are counted. But, he said, “You just can’t walk and knock on somebody’s door, now. You’ve got to find somebody in the neighborhood that the people trust. Not strangers. They’re scared of strangers.”
