About the 2020 Census The 2020 Census will soon be upon us, and with it, the opportunity to help Shape Your Future. The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take an official count of America’s population. Between March 12-20, every household in America will be receiving a notice to complete a census form online, by phone or by mail. Aggregate data compiled through the census are widely used to help guide investment decisions, distribute federal funding and ensure adequate representation in our democracy.
