Every 10 years, we all get to participate in an exercise that provides statistical data about people living in our community. Our answers to the 2020 U.S. Federal Census will determine the distribution of federal funds to states, for allotting seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and how much funding our community receives. Public and private sectors also use the census data for research and decision-making.
