Hi Geographyinitiative Sorry for the delayed response. I will definitely look into your request. As to your question about being counted even though you're traveling overseas: If I understand your situation correctly -- if you are just abroad on travel 4/1 and don't "live" there, but live back in the states, you should be counted at your U.S. address where you live. You will be getting an invitation at that U.S. address to respond with instructions between 3/12-20 and you can answer before 4/1. Assuming there's no one else in your household stateside to respond and include you, and there's no one there through July when follow-up efforts take place, it would appear that the overseas address might be your usual residence - at least for a time, in which case you wouldn't be counted there.

Proponents of including the question claimed it is necessary to gather an accurate statistical count, while opponents claimed it might suppress responses to the Decennial Census and therefore lead to an inaccurate count.[19] Multiple states have sued the Trump administration arguing that the proposed citizenship question is unconstitutional and may intimidate illegal aliens and undocumented workers, resulting in inaccurate data on immigrant communities.[20] In January 2019 a federal judge in New York ruled against the proposal; the U.S. Government appealed that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court which heard oral arguments in April 2019 about whether the citizenship question was constitutional and whether the Secretary of Commerce followed the law when deciding to add the question.[21][22] The Supreme Court issued its decision on June 27, 2019, rejecting the Trump administration's stated rationale for including the question. As a result the 2020 Census does not include a question on citizenship. [46]

On July 11 President Trump issued an executive order directing the Department of Commerce to obtain citizenship data from other federal agencies rather than via the census. [64]
