Census 2020

Census 2020 is important to you and our community!

Your response helps make sure that more than $675 billion in federal funds is directed each year to the right places to support education, health care, firefighting services, and more. Many decisions about where to send this money are based on census data.

A complete and accurate count is also critical for determining how many representatives each state will have in Congress.

Let’s make sure everyone in Westerlo is counted.
