Today is Census Day!

The U.S. Census Bureau has been working for more than a decade on the 2020 Census, and today is an important day: April 1 — Census Day — the reference day for the 2020 Census. We use this day to determine who is counted and where in the 2020 Census.

Help us spread the message that everyone should be counted where they live and sleep most of the time as of today, April 1, and everyone who usually lives and sleeps in their household should be included in their count. The census is important to our communities, and everyone's response matters.

Encourage Others to Respond Today

Make sure your employees, customers, partners, friends, family and social networks know about the importance of responding to the census. Responding now will minimize the need to send census takers out into communities to follow up.

• Download these pledge and challenge images, or create a custom image of your own, and share it with your network and followers.
• Post and share one of our PSA videos. 
• Post a 2020 Census web badge on your website directing to 2020census.gov for response.
• Share this half-page handout with your email lists.

As of today, more than 36 percent of households across the country have already responded to the 2020 Census, but we have more work to do. Check out our Response Rates Map to see how your community is doing.
