US Census 2020
WHAT IS THE 2020 CENSUS?
(Source: 2020census.gov)
The data collected provides lawmakers, business owners, school systems, and even REALTORS®, with information that enhances economic prosperity across the county. Critical federal funding for hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and over 100 community programs and services is allocated based upon Census data, as well as Congressional representation and the determination of how congressional and state legislative districts are drawn. It is estimated that the 2020 Census will drive $1.5 trillion in federal funds that support essential public policy programs across the country. Your response is needed by September 30, 2020.
For REALTORS®, participation in the Census allows the industry to forecast growth locally and nationally, evaluate consumer needs and housing demands, analyze migration trends to identify potential clientele, and determine areas of the state that are likely to be or have been affected by natural disasters.
