Census Homepage
The United States Constitution requires that a census of America’s population be taken every ten years as mandated by Article I, Section 2. The goal of the 2020 Census is to ensure that every resident in the United States is counted. The U.S. Constitution mandates the apportionment of representatives among the states for the House of Representatives every 10 years.
This year, we need to complete our Census by the mandated date. THE NEW CENSUS EXTENDED DAY this year is October 31st, 2020. For more information, read congressman's Vicente Gonzalez's letter below to read on the new change due to COVID-19 affecting our community nation-wide.
