URGENT: Census Deadline Change The 2020 Census is underway. Even though COVID-19 has impacted the timeline, you can still be counted at home by internet (my2020census.gov) by phone (844-330-2020 in English, 844-468-2020 in Spanish) or by paper questionnaire. Census workers will begin the door-to-door nonresponse follow up operation on August 11, and completing your Census form now at home reduces the need for a Census visit and maintains social distancing. With the onset of COVID, 2020 Census operations were paused. The US Census Bureau requested an extension of Apportionment and Redistricting data delivery and extended the 2020 Census response deadline to October 31. US Senate leadership and the Administration have indicated that they will not grant the delivery extension. The US Census Bureau has therefore reduced the response deadline to September 30, 2020. Currently in North Carolina: 41% of households have not been counted Over 4 million North Carolina residents have not been counted $7.4 billion in annual funding are at risk due to Census non-response Census workers have less time to count the non-responding population. Now is the time for community leaders to make sure that everyone is counted! The 2020 Census count will impact funding, services, and planning for the next 10 years.
