2020 U.S. Census

2020 is a Census year, and everyone counts.

Your participation can help shape the future for our students, schools, and community. Census results assist in determining how federal funding is used throughout the country and in our communities. A census is conducted only once a decade, making participation crucial to understanding needs such as new fire departments, new roads, school funding, etc. Every household will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census by April 1.
