United States Census 2020

The 2020 Census Day is April 1, 2020. The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take a count – or a census – of America’s population. The 2020 Census goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.

The census provides vital information for you & your community.

  • Businesses use census data to help provide more local jobs and places to shop.
  • The federal Government distributes hundreds of billions of dollars to states and communities each year based on U.S. Census Bureau Data
