Next Century Cities is a non-profit membership organization of over 200 communities, founded to support communities and their elected leaders, including mayors and other officials, as they seek to ensure that all have access to fast, affordable, and reliable internet access. Next Century Cities celebrates broadband successes in communities, demonstrates their value, and helps other cities to realize the full power of truly high-speed, affordable, and accessible broadband.
The census is a critical tool for municipalities to receive resources, inform local policy, and ensure that all are represented. This toolkit provides resources for communities to make sure that the 2020 census – the first census conducted primarily online – does not result in an undercount.
This toolkit answers questions such as: why does the census matter to local governments?, how will 2020 offer new challenges?, and what can local governments do to encourage online responses?
