Be prepared for the 2020 Census

Census data are being used all around you

Residents use the census to support community initiatives involving legislation, quality-of-life and consumer advocacy. Local governments use the census for public safety and emergency preparedness. Businesses use census data to decide where to build factories, offices and stores, which create jobs. 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 response sin any way that could identify you or your household. By law, your responses cannot be used against you and can only be used to produce statistics. 

2020 will be easier than ever

In 2020, you will be able to respond to the census online.
