Only Two More Weeks Left to Complete the 2020 Census


The 2020 Census is ending on September 30 and it is critical that all New Yorkers are counted. New York City stands to lose billions of dollars in federal aid every single year for schools, hospitals, health clinics, affordable housing, transportation, and more, as well as our representation in Congress and in Albany if we do not achieve a complete count.

This year, filling out the census is easier than ever. The census asks just 10 simple questions that can be answered in just a few minutes online at my2020census.gov, or by calling 844-330-2020. The census is 100% confidential, safe, and easy. Take a few minutes to secure New York City’s future by visiting my2020census.gov.
