The San Mateo County Census Team is working with partners to ensure that we have an accurate count of ALL residents in Census 2020. We have formed eight Strategy Work Groups, which are developing plans, messaging, and toolkits to support census outreach. Next, we will be forming Community Action Teams across the county to encourage and support local communities in standing up for the count.
