Between March 12 and March 20, invitations to participate in the 2020 Census will start arriving in households throughout California. This invitation will include instructions on how to respond to the 2020 Census online or by phone. Once you receive your household invitation, please respond to the 2020 Census by using the provided Census ID. No matter how you respond, it is important to do so to be counted. That’s because Census statistics help determine the number of seats California holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds are allocated to state and local communities for the next 10 years.
