April 1 is Census Day!

April 1 is Census Day, a key reference date for the 2020 Census—not a deadline. This day is used to determine who is counted and where in the 2020 Census. When you respond, you’ll tell the Census Bureau where you live as of April 1, 2020, and include everyone who usually lives and sleeps in your home. You can respond before or after that date.

What is the 2020 Census? The 2020 Census is the largest collection of statistical information on everyone who lives in the United States and is required by the U.S. Constitution. Responses to the 2020 Census will shape how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to local communities.

The 2020 Census takes about 10 minutes to complete online at https://my2020census.gov/ . Directions on how to respond by phone or mail are available at https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond.html .
