It’s Not Too Late to Complete the Census! It’s not too late to complete the 2020 Census online, over the phone, or through the mail, but you only have until the end of this month! As 2020 Census workers continue going door-to-door to visit residences that have yet to respond—all while taking precautions to help keep you safe from COVID-19—you can invest in the future of our community by taking the census online at www.my2020census.gov, over the phone at 844.330.2020, or via the mail-in instructions sent to your mailing address. Have you already taken the 2020 Census? Then help us ensure an accurate count by speaking with your neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers to ensure they have also taken the 2020 Census! Remind them that they matter, and deserve to be counted. For more information, contact the Community and Economic Development Department at 660.627.1224.
