Why complete Census 2020?
Billions in public funding are allocated across the country using census information for healthcare, emergency services, schools, roads and much more.
An undercount in your community may result in fewer resources over the next 10 years.
The census asks only for basic information for all people living in your household. It does not ask for sensitive information like social security numbers, immigration status or bank account information.
Don't delay! This month, the Census Bureau will begin making follow-up visits to households that have not responded.
You can complete the questionnaire
online
, by mail or over the phone (844-330-2020).
