What is the Census?
The U.S. Constitution requires a headcount every ten years of each person, including children and undocumented immigrants, in the United States. The information gathered from the census survey is incredibly important as it determines the number of U.S. Representatives each state has in the House of Representatives and how $675 billion should be distributed each year to states and local governments.
The Census only happens every ten years, and it determines the resource allocations for your community, including critical health services such as childcare, education programs, recovery programs, and political representation, to name a few.
Everyone Counts
Don’t be a part of the undercount. We all count – people of all ages, races, ethnicities, citizens, and non-citizens should be included in the survey count.
For the first time, the U.S. Census questionnaires will be available by phone or online. It has never been easier to respond. Simply use the unique code given in your invitation, you can fill out the 9-question survey. Your response is confidential.
Remember, this census data supports funding for local hospitals, schools, road repairs, and many other essential services over the next ten years. Do your part and complete the Census by September 30, 2020!
September 30 is the last day for households to self-respond online, by phone, or by mail. Spread the word and encourage your family and friends to complete the Census today!
