Press release from the City of Irving:

September 28, 2020

Respond Today to the 2020 Census

The 2020 Census is underway! In response to the COVID-19 outbreak the U.S. Census Bureau extended the period in which people can respond online, phone or by mail now.

Information collected in the 2020 Census will determine the congressional representation, help communities and businesses plan for the future and determine the allocation of more than $675 billion in federal funds every year for the next decade. Every household living in the United States is required by law to respond to the 2020 Census.

Individual answers cannot be shared with law enforcement, ICE, DEA, landlords, courts or anyone until 72 years have passed and they become valuable for genealogical and historical researchers.
