Your Last Chance for the Next 10 Years

Over 88% of households have been counted in the 2020 Census. We are in the final stage of collecting responses for this once-a-decade population count of everyone living in the United States. Don’t be left out! Every response matters.

Census takers are currently visiting households that have not yet responded. Households can still respond online at 2020census.gov, by phone at 844-330-2020, or by completing and mailing back their paper questionnaire. The time to act is now!

We’re in the Homestretch—Spread the Word

Now that we are in the homestretch of conducting the count, we need your help reminding friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors to participate in the 2020 Census.

Where there are more people, there are more needs—for schools, roads, and services for families, older adults, and children. Communities will miss out on funding for critical public services for the next 10 years unless everyone is counted.

You can help shape the future of your community. Download images and graphics to share on social media and encourage others to respond to the census.

About the 2020 Census

The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census will count everyone who lives in the U.S. on April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.
