Filling out the census isn’t just our civic duty – it’s the law. The Constitution mandates that the country counts its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790.
The 2020 Census takes about 12 minutes to compete. You can fill out a Census survey form and send it by mail, reply by phone, or for the first time – online.
The Census determines how much funding and services our towns and cities receive each year for the next decade. Everyone counts.
