Every 10 years, the US Census counts every person living in the United States. This count determines the distribution of federal funds to states and local communities as well as communities’ representation in the US Congress and state and local government.
How will the 2020 Census Work?
The US Census Bureau has sent every very household a postcard by mail instructing them to fill out the US Census online. Households will later receive several mailings asking them to respond online or by mail. Then, beginning in May, Census Bureau staff will visit households that have not yet responded to collect responses in person.
How Do I Fill Out the Census Online?
If you received a postcard, you will on it find a 12-digit Census ID. Go to https://2020census.gov/ and type in your code to get started. If you did not receive a postcard (or can't find yours), go to https://my2020census.gov/app/intro/state and begin by typing in your address.
