Once a month, Clarkston residents meet to talk all things census. This time around, they’re gathered around a coffee truck on a lot near Market Street.

Amina Osman is originally from Kenya. Her first census in this country was in 2010, but she says some of her neighbors weren’t counted. 

“Me too. I was there, but they didn’t count me because they didn’t come and knock on my door,” she says.
