Here's what you can do today to help ensure a complete count in 2030.

The US Census is more than a population count every 10 years.  Together, the decennial census, American Community Survey, and other US Census Bureau business and household surveys form an ongoing project to tell the story of who we are as Americans and New Yorkers and to allocate resources and representation equitably. With opportunities for advocacy and raising awareness happening year-round, it’s never too early or too late to empower your community or organization with resources to better understand the impact of the US Census and census data.

Check out our latest resources to begin advocating and raising awareness around the US Census starting now.

Use our 2020 Census Resource archive to begin laying groundwork for the 2030 Census.

We are a hub for resources for New Yorkers, for New York organizers, advocates, and influencers, and, simply, for all to be empowered with accurate information and timely materials that will help them become partners in getting themselves and their communities counted.

Keep Responding

The Census Bureau sends other official surveys in the years between the decennial Census. If you receive a survey such as the American Community Survey or American Economic Survey, know that responding to these is just as important as responding to the Census. Make sure your friends, family, and neighbors do the same.
