Shape your future! The United States Census relies on your contribution to determine community resources and representation for legislative districts. Local libraries, fire departments, hospitals, and other community services rely on census data to continue receiving funding from the federal government.

Participation in the U.S. Census is required by law. It counts every person living in the United States and five U.S. territories. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail.
