Census 2020: Be heard. Be seen. Be counted.
August 9th, 2019
The U.S. census, a count of every resident in this country, takes place every 10 years and helps shape many different aspects of your community, like hospitals, schools, highways and roads, emergency preparedness and much more.
The census results help determine how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states and communities. And it’s mandated by the U.S. Constitution. In fact, the first census was taken in 1790.
The city of Aurora is joining our partners at the counties and state to support the U.S. Census Bureau in its effort to count every single person of any age in Aurora. In the coming months, we will share more information about how you can respond to the census in 2020.
