Final Stretch
The 2020 Census deadline has been punted back and forth. It went from Oct. 31 to Sept. 30. Then after some lawsuits, it went back to Oct. 31. The census determines how nearly $700 billion in federal funding will be distributed over the next decade, plus federal representation in Congress. Every household counts, citizen or not, family members or roommates, English speaking or not, officially on the lease or not, adults and babies too. Count your household in while there is still time, by mail, by phone or online.
Deadline to complete the census is Oct. 31. Free. 855-562-2020, my2020census.gov.
