Census 2020
7/13/20
The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data. The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts. It's also in the Constitution: Article 1, Section 2, mandates that the country conduct a count of its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790. The time is now. Help shape your future, and your community's future, by responding to the 2020 Census. Most households received their invitation to respond to the 2020 Census between March 12 - 20.
These official Census Bureau mailings will include detailed information and a Census ID for completing the Census online. In addition to an invitation to respond, some households will receive a paper questionnaire (sometimes known as the census form). You do not need to wait for your paper questionnaire to respond to the Census. The 2020 Census is for everyone. Please complete your form online, by phone, or by mail when your invitation to respond arrives. Visit my2020census.gov to begin.
