...A Census undercount in Ocasio-Cortez' district and elsewhere in the state could lead to the elimination of congressional districts - potentially setting off politically charged redistricting battles.
...Ocasio-Cortez' district is full of communities with apprehension about the Census process, said Naureen Akhter, the lawmaker's deputy district director.
...In-person contact, like home visits, likely will be key to district residents' Census participation.
...As of July 12, the Census Bureau had filled 28% of the 121,240 New York area positions it's recruiting for, according to a presentation last month by Jeff Behler, director of the state Regional Census Center.
