2020 Census

OMB 0607-1006

Article 1, Section 2 of the United States Constitution mandates that the U.S. House of Representatives be reapportioned every ten years by conducting a national census of all residents. In addition to the reapportionment of the U.S. Congress, Census data are used to draw legislative district boundaries within states. Census data also are used by numerous agencies to determine funding allocations for the distribution of an estimated $675 billion of federal funds each year. The Census Bureau plans to conduct the most automated, modern, and dynamic decennial census in history. The 2020 Census includes design changes in four key areas: (1) New methodologies to conduct the Address Canvassing operation. (2) Innovative ways of optimizing self-response. (3) The use of administrative records and third-party data to reduce the Nonresponse Followup (NRFU) operation workload. (4) The use of technology to reduce the manual effort and improve the productivity of field operations, while decreasing the amount of physical space required to perform the field operations.

The latest form for 2020 Census expires 2021-11-30 and can be found here.
