This week, Census workers will begin visiting homes in our area that have not responded to the 2020 Census. If someone visits your home to collect information for the Census, please check to make sure they have a valid ID badge that includes their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark and an expiration date. You can avoid having a Census worker visit your home by completing your Census form online at https://my2020census.gov/ or by phone at 844-330-2020. It only takes a few minutes and your answers are confidential. Currently, the census response rate for the city of Greenville is just 54% and time is running out, so please do your part to help ensure that everyone is counted. The results of the 2020 Census will affect our community for the next 10 years.
