MAKE SURE YOU ARE COUNTED. CENSUS DATA IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!
|
|
The deadline for submission of your 2020 census has been extended, but you are strongly encouraged to submit sooner rather than later. The need for accurate census data is more and more apparent every day. Accurate counts of population are used to determine needs for so many vital services including needs associated with medical facilities and distribution of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and more.
Make sure you and your loved ones are counted!
Census date is 100% confidential; every Census worker takes a confidentiality oath and violations can result in fines and prison. Data is never released to law enforcement, immigration officials, landlords, etc.
For information about how census data is used, how to complete the census, and much more click on the "2020 Census Worcester" banner above or go to
