“We’re adapting or delaying some of our operations to protect the health and safety of our staff and the public and make sure we get the same population counted another way,” according to the information from the United States Census 2020.

The Census Bureau is working to complete data collection as quickly and safely as possible, while ensuring a complete and accurate count as it strives to comply with the law and statutory deadlines. The Census count is currently scheduled to end on October 5, although court rulings may extend that deadline.

However, to ensure your important information counts, many experts recommend completing the information before the October 5 deadline.

The importance of the 2020 Census Data will help lawmakers, business owners and many others make critical decisions over the next decade. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children.

The results will also determine how and where hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, and block grants for community mental health services
