Census 2020
Nationwide, only 60% of households have returned their census forms. When you're not counted, your community loses federal and state funding every year. Those funds help pay for preschool slots, schools, roads, and so much more. Fill out your Census 2020 form online or over the phone. It's quick and easy. In mid-August, Census workers will start visiting households who have not returned their forms. Learn more in the videos below (in English on the left and en espanol a la derecha).
