It's time to get counted.
You001 Archivesuntil Sept. 30 to be counted in the 2020 U.S. Census, which is a month earlier than originally planned, according to NPR. That's only a month away.
The Census happens every 10 years, so the next one isn't until 2030. The population tally helps determine funding that goes to states, counties, and cities for roads, schools, housing and more. For politics, it's also vital: The number of representatives in Congress is based on the number of citizens in each state. John Oliver explained the importance of the census in a Last Week Tonightepisode.
The 2020 census has proven challenging with the coronavirus moving data collection to mostly online spaces. But luckily, it's pretty easy to enter your information on the site 2020census.gov. You have to fill out the census in one online session, so set aside a few minutes to do so. The online form is available in many languages, not just English. If you're stressed over what the government is asking about, you can take a look at a preview of the exact questions. It's mostly about where you live and who you're living with as of April 1. There are no questions about citizenship.
SEE ALSO: John Oliver takes an eye-opening look at the U.S. CensusIn the past few months some in-person counting resumed. There's also mail-in counts and a phone line to call. So if filling out the online form doesn't work for you, there are other options. You can find more information about those options on the Census Bureau's website.
So far Idaho has the highest completion rate with 96.5 percent of homes in the state counted. New Mexico lags behind in last place, with only 71.2 percent.
Just don't fall prey to any misleading ads from Republican groups, like those from earlier in 2020 that didn't link to the census even though it looked like it.
