2020 Census Mobilization

Activities Projects Publications

Every ten years, the Census Bureau conducts a constitutionally-mandated national household survey to count every resident in the United States. Local governments and nonprofit organizations, including NNIP Partners, are gearing up for the 2020 Census to ensure complete coverage in their communities, particularly of traditionally undercounted groups like people of color, young children, renters, and immigrants.
