Readers the Census, also known as the Population and Housing Census is back. This operation is a complete count of the United States population (resident and non-resident) and is officially mandated by the Constitution. The results of this project will influence policymaking for the next ten years and will be the basis for fair political representation. Households across the nation will be asked to answer a few short questions about their age, sex, and living arrangement.
The information collected will help:
- Reapportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
- Redesign congressional, state, and local district boundaries
- Influence the amount of funding received by state governments and local communities from the federal government
- First-responders understand how much help is needed during emergencies or catastrophes
- Serve as a population database for future national surveys
- Influence the building of new roads, hospitals, schools, and other public sector investments
- Small business owners understand how the population is changing
The 2020 Census is the first of its kind to allow every U.S. household to respond online; however, paper forms are still available. You can also complete your survey over the phone by calling 1-844-330-2020. The Census is critical and only rolls around every ten years, so make sure you take it. Everyone’s voice deserves to be represented, do not miss out on your chance to be advocated for.
