What is so great about
the 2020 Census?
Lots of things, including:
• It’s easy to complete! You can mail in your Census form or fill it out online
in minutes at www.2020census.gov.
• A higher response rate for our community provides more funding for
public services and gives local officials much-needed information to plan
for changes. Over $675 BILLION in federal funding comes back to states
and local communities based on Census data.
• The local response rate determines the number of our elected officials.
More representation means we will have a stronger voice for our concerns.
• Your information is safe and secure. The Census Bureau is required by
law to protect any personal information and keep it confidential.
• The Census keeps you safe. Many 911 emergency systems are based on
maps developed for the last Census.
