Complete the Census

Once every ten years, the United States Census takes a count of every person in the United States.

But the census is so much more than just a count. Census information is used to determine New York City’s fair share of billions of dollars in federal funds for climate action planning, public education, affordable housing, infrastructure, and more — as well as the number of seats we have in Congress.

The deadline to complete the 2020 Census is September 30th.
