The 2020 Census is closer than you think! Here’s a quick refresher of what it is and why it’s essential for everyone to be counted.
WHAT IS The CENSUS?
Every ten years, the United States Census Bureau conducts a census to count the number of people living in the United States and determine the number of seats each state receives in the U.S. House of Representatives.
