Every town is an important part of the American story. Make sure your town’s story is told by responding to the 2020 Census—the count of everyone living in the United States. When you do, you’ll also help your town get the most out of the American dream.

Census responses provide data that can attract new businesses and the jobs that come with them. The data also informs where over $675 billion in federal funding is spent each year in states and communities. That includes money for things like:
• Medicare Part B
• Special education
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
• Cooperative Extension Service
• Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
• Water and waste disposal systems for rural communities

Invitations to respond to the 2020 Census will be delivered between March 12-20. Once you receive that invitation, respond online, by phone, or by mail. Your personal information is kept confidential by law. Every person counts: Whether it’s funding in communities across your state or helping determine the number of seats your state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives — every count makes an equal impact.

You can inspire others. Tell everyone—your friends and family, your neighbors and co-workers—that you will complete the census, and tell them why it’s important that they respond too.

Census results have an impact on planning and funding for health clinics and highways, fire departments and disaster response, education programs such as Head Start and college tuition assistance and so much more.
