About the 2020 Census

The 2020 U.S. Census launches on April 1, opening a once-every-decade season in which every individual living in America is counted.

It’s safe and smart to take part in the 2020 U.S. Census. In fact, for people of faith, it’s a right and duty to participate. Results from the Census are crucial, directly related to our political representation and how tax dollars are allocated to communities for schools, healthcare, housing and other matters that affect our quality of life.

It’s smart to take part because an incomplete count could cost up to $10,000 in federal money over 10 years for every person who is not counted.

It’s safe to be counted because, after collecting data from each household, the Census Bureau does not reveal the it to anyone, including includes federal agencies, immigration authorities, law enforcement and courts of law.
