2020 Census
Have you completed the 2020 Census yet? If not, do it now! You can do it online at https://my2020census.gov, or by phone at 844-330-2020. If you did not respond by July, you will receive a paper form to complete. If you still don’t respond, census takers will come to your door.
Not only does the Census affect federal support and political representation, but it also has a direct, practical effect on the local economy and public safety. Businesses use Census data to decide where to build factories, offices, and stores, which creates jobs. Developers use the Census to build new homes, and local governments use the Census for public safety and emergency preparedness.
Title 13 of the U.S. Code protects the confidentiality of all your information. Only authorized individuals have access to the stored data, and the information you provide to the Census Bureau may only be used by a restricted number of authorized individuals who are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of your individual responses. Your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court.
