Most (78%) of homes will receive an invitation encouraging them to respond online or by phone, and some homes (22%) will receive an invitation along with a paper questionnaire.
When you receive your invitation, it’s important to respond (see How To)* as doing so helps decide how money is allocated for services, products and support for our residents and community as a whole.
*How To Respond: for you and others that live in your home, you’ll be able to respond at the website (2020census.gov) OR by phone or mail. WHEN to respond?… if you prefer to not have a Census taker come to your home later this spring or summer (i.e., May-July), you’ll want to respond this month or by mid-April at the latest. Please be aware of scams – i.e., do not respond if you get an Email or Phone Call by someone claiming to be from the Census Bureau.
