2020 CENSUS TO BEGIN THIS MONTH:
IT'S ESSENTIAL EVERY RIVERTON RESIDENT BE COUNTED
|
The U.S. Census Bureau will be sending out official 2020 Census invitations in the mail between March 12 and March 20 to every home in Riverton. Once the invitation arrives, you can complete the Census online, by phone or by mail. It is critical that every person living in Riverton be counted, regardless of age or length of time living in the city.
An accurate count is essential to measure Riverton’s growth, help the city plan for the future, and to ensure federal and state resources and political representation are appropriately allocated to our city for the next 10 years.
