Census wraps Oct. 31
Posted
The US Census Bureau has extended the deadline for US residents to be counted to Oct. 31, 2020. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads and other resources based on census data.
Fill out the Census form online at 2020census.gov.
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.
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).
