Population & Demographics
Be Counted in the 2020 Census
There is still time to fill out your Census form. Go online today at www.2020census.gov.
The decennial Census provides the country's official population count and determines our share of federal funding and representation in Congress. The Census also provides information that community organizations and state and local governments need in order to serve communities. The City is partnering with trusted community leaders to help you know your rights and be counted in the U.S. 2020 Census. Visit www.seattlecensus.org for more information.
