Wake Forest residents are reminded to check their mail for a postcard invitation to participate in the 2020 U.S. Census. The invitations include the website address to complete the census online and the toll-free phone number to complete it by phone. It also includes a code that ties your response to your mailing address which ensures your household is counted in the correct community.
Residents may respond online and by phone even without the code. Access the survey online at https://my2020census.gov and by toll-free phone number by calling 1-844-330-2020.
Completing the 2020 Census is mandated by law and is important to communities. An accurate population count means Wake County will receive its fair share of federal funding for schools, hospitals, roads and other vital programs. Every person counted in our community brings more than $1,800 in state and federal funding each year. Census data also determines congressional representation and influence in the Electoral College. Data from the census influences funding and representation decisions over 10 years. For more information, visit www.2020census.gov.
