If you haven’t already responded to the Census, time is running out. The 2020 Census has been shortened and now ends on September 30. Approximately 4 million North Carolinians still need to be counted or we risk losing an estimated $74 billion over the next decade.
Vance County’s response to the census from our citizens has been low. We need your help to get the word out.
Please respond today at my2020census.gov or 844-330-2020.
Responding to the Census is safe, easy and important for our state’s future. Census workers will begin going door-to-door starting August 11. You can avoid their knock on your door by responding now online, by phone or by mail.
Key things to know about the 2020 Census:
- Every NC resident who responds brings back $1,823 per year to our state.
- Census results are used to fund programs that impact schools, roads, emergency services, disaster and pandemic recovery, healthcare, childcare, senior care, food assistance, public transportation, economic development, housing programs and more.
- The 2020 Census also helps North Carolina get accurate representation in Congress, including potential for an additional seat.
