2020 CENSUS TO BEGIN IN MARCH:
EVERY RIVERTON RESIDENT MUST BE COUNTED
|
Riverton City is taking proactive steps to ensure the 2020 Census provides the most accurate count possible of the population of our city.
The Census is critical to measure Riverton’s growth, help the city plan for the future, and to ensure federal and state resources are appropriately allocated to our city for the next 10 years.
Every home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census from the US Census Bureau by mail at some point between March 12 and March 20. Please ensure every individual, both young and old, in your household are counted.
