The census is how the government conducts a count of its population. 

  • Knowing the population in each state provides critical data that lawmakers use to allocate billions of dollars in federal funding.
  • The census determines the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives. 
  • The census determines the way state legislative districts will be redrawn for the next decade.
  • There is no citizenship question on the 2020 census.

    • There are only two days left (March 30th and 31st) before the deadline to fill out the census. So go fill out one for you and your household now.
