The Census Is Closing on September 30…
Answer the 9 Census Questions NOW: Online, by Phone or by Mail!
With door-to-door visits by census takers now underway, the U.S. Census Bureau is informing households that they may also receive a follow-up visit to ensure everyone is counted in the 2020 Census.
–64.9% of all housing units have responded online, by phone or by mail,
–another 17.5% have been counted by census takers and other field data collection operations.
In total, over 82.4% of all housing units throughout the nation have been accounted for in the 2020 Census as of Aug. 30.
The Census Bureau is working to count the remaining households—about 1 in every 5 households across the nation.
The Census is used by the local, state, and national governments, and the information from the census affects services available to the population.
Over the next decade, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical decisions. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children.
The results will also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grants for community mental health services, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP.

On a daily basis, the Census Bureau updates its list of households that have responded. It is possible that a locally hired census taker will still visit the address as part of the Census Bureau’s quality assurance program for the 2020 Census even if a household has already responded. The public is encouraged to cooperate with census takers as they follow up.
