HAVE YOU COMPLETED THE 2020 CENSUS YET? If not, here are the questions that they are asking:
#1: How many people are/were living in your home on April 1, 2020? #2: Were there any additional people staying with you on April 1 that you did not include on April 1? #3: Is this a house, apartment, or mobile home? #4: What is your telephone number? #5: For each person who resided at your home on April 1, 2020, what is the person’s name, age, sex, race and ethnicity?
WHY DO THEY ASK THESE QUESTIONS? #1: This helps us count the entire U.S. population and ensures that we count people where they live most of the time as of Census Day #2: The goal of the 2020 Census is to count everyone just once and in the right place. We want to ensure that everyone in your home who should be counted is counted—including newborns, roommates, and those who may be staying with you temporarily. #3: This helps us produce statistics about homeownership and renting. The rates of homeownership serve as one indicator of the nation’s economy. They also help with administering housing programs, planning, and decisionmaking #4: The Census Bureau asks for your phone number in case there are any questions about your census form. We will only contact you for official census business, if needed.
#5: The Census Bureau asks a series of questions about each member of your household. This allows us to establish one central figure as a starting point. Create statistics about males and females, which can be used in planning and funding government programs. This data can also be used to enforce laws, regulations, and policies against discrimination. The U.S. Census Bureau creates statistics to better understand the size and characteristics of different age groups. Agencies use this data to plan and fund government programs that support specific age groups, including children and older adults. These responses help create statistics about this ethnic group. This helps federal agencies monitor compliance with anti-discrimination provisions, such as those in the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act; and to create statistics about race and to analyze other statistics within racial groups. This data helps federal agencies monitor compliance with anti-discrimination provisions, such as those in the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
