The 2020 Census is happening now. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail. Click here for more information.

The 2020 Census asks a few simple questions about you and everyone who was living with you on April 1, 2020.

Who Should Respond

The 2020 Census counts everyone living in the United States and its five territories (Puerto RicoAmerican Samoathe Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana IslandsGuam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

One person should respond for each home. That person must be at least 15 years old. They should live in the home or place of residence themselves and know general information about each person living there.

Who Should Be Counted and Where?

You should be counted where you were living and sleeping most of the time as of April 1, 2020. If you are responding for your home, count everyone who was living and sleeping there most of the time as of April 1, 2020. This includes young children, foster children, roommates, and any family members or friends who are living with you, even temporarily.
