San Mateo County Census

CENSUS 101: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Every 10 years, the federal government is required by law to count all residents in the United State regardless of immigration status. It includes citizens, noncitizens, green card holders, working visas, visitor visas and student visas too. The information is used to make sure everyone is equally represented in our political system and government resources are allocated fairly.

Census 2020 is quick and easy to complete. It will only ask for very basic information: how many people live in your home, whether the home is owned or rented, and the name, age, sex, and race of each person. It does not ask your citizenship status. There are only 9 easy questions and it will take about 10 minutes to fill out – but will impact the NEXT 10 YEARS!

Not only is Census 2020 quick and easy, it is safe to complete. No personal details will be shared outside the Census Bureau – not to ICE, FBI, Welfare, or local code or law enforcement.

If you have not responded yet, it is not too late. You still have time to fill out the 2020 census questionnaire. To respond to the 2020 Census now you can visit my2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020.
