Ensure an Accurate Count in 2020

The 2020 Census is underway, and households across the United States are responding every day. By now, you likely have received multiple mailings from the U.S. Census Bureau, including an invitation to respond to the 2020 Census and follow-up postcards and letters.

What Can You Do To Help?

While great progress is being made in the 2020 Census and more than half of U.S. households have responded—that’s 83,600,000 households so far—there is still more work to be done. Visit the 2020 Census response rate map to see what percentage of households have responded in cities and towns across the country.  The Borough of Jenkintown is at 62.7% self response rate.  (79.6% is 2010)
If you have already responded to the 2020 Census, thank you! Now we need your help to fulfill our constitutional duty to count everyone across the U.S. and its five territories. Using social media, you can easily inform others of the importance of the census and encourage them to respond.

The message is simple: Where there are more people, there are more needs. An accurate count helps inform decisions about funding for hospitals, fire departments, schools, and roads for the next 10 years. Help us spread the word about the 2020 Census!

About the 2020 Census
The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census will count everyone who lives in the U.S. as of April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.
Thank you and be well!
