Census Information

Why is the census so important?

  • Each person counted in the census generates over $1,400 for our community
  • Census data funds high-need programs such as free/reduced school lunches, free summer meals for children and free medical services in our community
  • Affordable housing, improvements to roads and highways, and emergency services such as fire departments depend on census information

The 2020 census will NOT ask you about:

  • Your citizenship
  • Your banking information
  • Your social security number

Our community is counting on you to be counted in the 2020 census. By not participating, our community will lose much needed funding to provide essential services to the people and programs who need them the most.
