Census 2020 Informational Session

Event Date: 
Friday, February 28, 2020 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm

CENSUS 2020

Informational session will be held on February 28th at 12:30PM.
 By April 1, 2020, every home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. Once the invitation arrives, you should respond for your home in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for your community and you. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.  The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts.  It's also in the Constitution: Article 1, Section 2, mandates that the country conduct a count of its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790.
