Early Nonresponse Followup (NRFU): Census takers will follow up with households that haven’t responded yet around some colleges and universities.
Nonresponse Followup (NRFU) and NRFU Reinterview: Census takers will interview households in person that have not responded online, by phone, or by mail.
