What is the 2020 Census?

The 2020 Census counts every person living in the United States and five
U.S. Territories.   

 

The count is mandated by the Constitution and conducted by the U.S. Census
Bureau, a nonpartisan government agency. The 2020 Census counts the
population in the United States and five U.S. territories (Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and
the U.S. Virgin Islands). Each home will receive an invitation to respond to
a short questionnaire-online, by phone, or by mail-between March 12-20.

 

Why We Conduct This Count

The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers,
and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you
and your community. 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.

 

Counting Everyone

Participating in the census is required by law, even if you recently
completed another survey from the Census Bureau. A complete and accurate
count is critical for you and your community, because the results of the
2020 Census will affect community funding, congressional representation, and
more.

 

Ohio, please, please Complete this critical process by phone if you can not
online.
