Remember the Census This Weekend!

census 2020
In the next week, Illinois residents who haven't filled out the Census form online will receive a full paper form in the mail.

Because of Covid-19, the Census Bureau is suspending door-to-door  outreach, and doubling down on email and online outreach.

You can help Des Plaines get a head start by spreading the word about the Census online!

Use #2020Census on your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or make up a Census dance on Tiktok!

About 50% of Illinois residents have filled out their form already.

And it's one thing that is easy to do while Safe at Home!

The Census is very important because it’s about money, power, and data. 

  • Every 10 years we help decide how taxpayer dollars come back to our communities. The 2020 Census will help to distribute billions of dollars in federal resources to your community. 
  • Our community gets resources based on census population counts, that help pay for hospitals, emergency services, schools, roads, and more. 
  • An accurate and complete census helps businesses, community leaders and elected officials make informed decisions every day.

Take the Census Pledge and spread the word!

You might get a form even if you have already filled out the form online - Thank You! - and you don't need to fill it out again.
