We’re Helping Spread The
Word About Census 2020

Once a decade,
America comes together to
participate in the census.
This census provides the
basis for reapportioning
Congressional seats and
redistricting. Census data determine how $675 billion
are spent, supporting our state, county and community’s
vital programs.
By April 2020, most households will receive a census
invitation in the mail. Every household can respond
online, by mail or by phone. If you don’t have access Diane L. KarLiK
to the Internet, you can always visit a library to use the
public computers to respond online.
While our agency is not directly involved with the
census itself, we are helping to spread the word in Palm Tel: (561) 625-5220
