Census 2020 - Be Counted
WHAT IS THE CENSUS?
Basically a head count, which has been done every 10 years since 1790, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
The census provides vital information for you and your community. Census data determines the number of state representatives in Congress and is used to redraw district boundaries. It is used by communities to plan infrastructure projects, schools, emergency services, and more. Data from the census provides the basis for distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to communities across the country to support vital programs - impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and public policy ( an estimated $7 trillion over the next decade).
Census Day is April 1, 2020.
Details on how and where you will receive your census survey will be provided as this date draws near.
