Complete Count Committee (2020 Census)

What’s at Stake: 

The Census numbers will determine:

• How more than $675 billion in federal funds get distributed annually.
• How state and county legislative districts will get redrawn during redistricting.
• How federal, state, and local governments will plan and implement programs, services, and emergency response.
• How communities will plan for nursing homes, clinics, and the location of other health services.
• How future transportation needs for all segments of the population will be projected.
