Every household in the U.S. is required to complete a Census questionnaire after receiving a postcard notification from the Census Bureau in March. Starting March 12, the Census form will be available online at my2020census.gov for the first time! Select one person from your household to fill out the form online, over the phone, or by mail. The Census asks how many people live in your home and if your home is rented, owned, or occupied without rent. In homes with more than one resident, the census asks how everyone else in the home is related to the person who fills out the form, such as a child or roommate. The census form asks no more than seven questions about each person including: name, age and birth date, sex, race, and whether household members are of Hispanic or Latino origin.

Do you have questions or want help with your form? The City’s Complete Count Committee and Census workers will be at our Census-Palooza event to help you and answer your questions. Census-Palooza will be held on Saturday, March 21 at Duvall Field from 12-3pm. Join us for live music, local food, kids activities and more as we celebrate all things Census!
