Why it Matters?

It will impact us all. The next ten years will be shaped by who responds to the census:

  • It will guide the federal government to make important decisions about how much funding each community will receive for essential resources like schools, housing, and social programs.

  • It will determine the number of congressional representatives who represent our communities and how district lines are drawn for our state legislature.

What are the Census Questions?

  • There are 12 questions in total that ask general demographic information.

  • Flip through the images to the right to get a better sense of the 12 questions you’ll need to respond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to complete?

Yes! The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. They’ll compile your responses with information from other households to produce statistics about your community, without ever identifying your home or any person living in it.

I heard there might be a Citizenship question in the census, is that true?

No, that’s not true. There is no citizenship question on the 2020 census. Everyone living in the U.S., regardless of their immigration status, has the right to be counted.

What if I don’t want to complete the census online?

You can also complete the census over the phone or via mail. Here’s how:

  • Respond to the 2020 census by calling 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish). Phone hours of operation are every day from 10 AM to 11 PM Pacific Time.

What if I don’t have my census ID?

You can still complete the 2020 Census online if you don’t have your 12-digit Census ID handy! Go to my2020census.gov and click on the link below the login button that says, “If you do not have a Census ID, click here.”
