Pasco County Begins 2020 United States Census

The Census survey collects basic statistical information. The census does not ask for Social Security numbers, citizenship status or other sensitive personal information.

Census responses are secure, confidential and protected by law -- no personal information can be shared with anyone, including other government agencies.

Billions of dollars in federal aid is guided by census data. Pasco County is experiencing exceptional growth and needs the funding to support its communities. Its goal is 100 percent participation.

Pasco County commissioners appointed 10 local leaders to the Complete Count Committee, which will focus on specific under counted communities in Pasco that were not fully represented in the previous census. If you do not respond to the initial invitation, a Census Bureau worker may visit you in person.
