census 2020

It has never been so easy and difficult to participate in the “census” than in 2020. “Easy” because, for the first time, the census form is widely available online. “Difficult” because the teams of volunteers who usually knock on doors to remind people are hampered by the pandemic.

Organized every ten years, the American census aims to count all people in the United States, American or not, in a legal situation or not. The data transmitted to the Census Bureau is confidential. If you have not yet completed the form, you have until September 30 to do so.

Census data is very important. In particular, they make it possible to determine the division of electoral constituencies and the size of the political representation of each state in Congress, but also serve as a basis for allocating more than one trillion dollars to infrastructure projects and public services (schools, hospitals , transport, etc.).
