Skokie Residents - Please Don't Forget Your 2020 Census Response

Reminder postcards arriving soon!

The 2020 Census is still continuing, and 2 of every 3 Skokie households have already
self-responded. The Census Bureau strongly encourages the public to respond online at my2020census.gov.

Households can respond online in English or 12 other languages or by phone. Households can also
respond by mail using the paper questionnaire that was recently mailed to every non-responding
address. Households that received a census invitation in the mail and have yet
to respond will receive a paper questionnaire by April 30.

Households will receive another reminder postcard in the mail between April 27-May 9. The Census Bureau pushed back this mailing to allow the paper questionnaire package to arrive several days ahead of the postcard. The postcard is one reminder in a series of
reminders that the Census Bureau has mailed non-responding households since mid-March urging them to respond. Census takers will visit every address that does not respond on their own to collect responses in person. Responding now to the 2020 Census will minimize the need for a census taker to visit your home later this year. For more information, visit 2020census.gov.
