We take our responsibility to protect your information very seriously. Results from the 2020 Census will also help to determine the number of seats that each state has in Congress. 2020 Census results will help in directing billions of dollars in federal funds to communities for schools, roads, and other public services. Census Bureau can use your responses only to produce statistics. The 2020 Census is not asking citizenship status, your full social security number, money or donations, anything on behalf of a political party or your bank or credit card numbers. We also will ask whether the housing unit, such as the house, apartment, or mobile home, is owned or rented, and for contact information in case additional information is needed. For each person, we ask about name, sex, age, date of birth, relationship, Hispanic origin, and race. The 2020 Census asks how many people are living or staying at each address. If a household does not respond to the 2020 Census, a census taker will follow up in person to collect their response. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail. There are additional reminders to respond that will be mailed throughout the month. Households will receive an invitation to respond to the 2020 Census between March 12-20.
