Once every ten years, the US Census Bureau does a complete population count, surveying every resident in the US. This count is mandated by the Constitution and requires reaching millions of households. Everyone who has established a residence in the US is counted, including individuals with work visas, international students, and unauthorized immigrants, but excluding temporary visitors such as tourists.
The 2020 Census will be the first time you can take the survey online. Most households will be contacted by mail with a unique code to fill out the survey online. The goal of the Census Bureau is to have these distributed between March 12-20th. Be sure to look for this document since it is very important that you respond. For every resident not counted thousands of dollars are lost to your geographic area. If you are not handy with internet usage ask a family member or friend to assist you. Make sure you are responding to the official document since scammers will try to send fake ones to access your information.
Just as every vote counts at election time, every survey counts?
