Arapahoe County Launches 2020 Census PSA

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, CO — Arapahoe County has launched a public service announcement reminding residents to complete the 2020 Census. Census data will affect congressional representation in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Colorado is poised to pick up one seat as a result of this year's census.

"Census data informs the distribution of more than $675 billion in federal funds to states and communities each year for critical programs," county officials said in a public notice. "Arapahoe County relies heavily on these federal dollars to fund and supplement critical programs like Human Services, economic development, housing assistance, transportation improvements and more."
