By this date, every home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. You can respond one of three ways: 2020 Census, by phone 844-330-2020 or by mail.

Census data determine how more than $675 billion in federal funds are distributed to states and communities each year to support essential state and local programs. For each person counted, states/communities receive nearly $2,000 per year, or $20,000 per decade. State officials use census data to redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts.

Census data help businesses, researchers and communities make important decisions that affect new business development, job creation, new roads and funding for school lunches. The results determine how many seats each state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives.
