Census data are
being used all
around you.
Businesses use census
data to decide where
to build factories,
offices and stores,
which create jobs.
Local governments
use the census for
public safety and
emergency
preparedness.
Residents use the census to
support community
initiatives involving
legislation, quality-of-life
and consumer advocacy.
Real estate
developers use
the census to build
new homes and
revitalize old
neighborhoods.
Your privacy
is protected.
It’s against the law for the
Census Bureau to publicly
release your responses in any
way that could identify you or
your household.
In 2020, you will be
able to respond to the
census online.
wn
By law, your responses cannot
be used against you and can
only be used to produce
statistics.
2020 will be
easier than ever.
You can help.
You are the expert—we need
your ideas on the best way to
make sure everyone in your
community gets counted.
