Census takers are now visiting households that have not self-responded to the Census. Here’s What You Need to Know About Census Takers
The U.S. Constitution requires that every 10 years each decade we take a count — or a census — of America’s population. The goal of the 2020 United States Census is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.
The census is much more than just a headcount. It provides a picture of our nation that helps determine where to build new schools, roads, hospitals, and businesses; how federal funding is distributed; and how congressional seats are apportioned. It also helps us see how our communities have changed over time. That’s why participation and an accurate count is so important.
The next decennial Census has been positioned to be “high-tech” and easier than ever; however, urgent action is needed. The 2020 Census is facing unprecedented challenges — insufficient and delayed funding; decrease in the number of census offices and enumerators; cybersecurity threats (real and perceived) and the digital divide; and community reluctance and fear of sharing information with the government.
The time for action to support a complete and accurate count is now. Join United Way of the National Capital Area, the census bureau, and other census champions in ensuring all DMV residents are counted in 2020.
