Redwood City Officials: Census Deadline Fast Approaching

REDWOOD CITY, CA—The U.S Census deadline is fast approaching, Redwood City officials are encouraging residents to complete it as soon as possible if they haven't already.

"We only get the chance to be counted every ten years," the city poste on its officials Facebook page Monday.

Sept. 30 is the final day residents can respond to the census. Both self-response and field data collection will end at that time.

A person's response to the census helps to direct billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities for schools, roads and other public services.

Results from the 2020 census will also be used to determine the number of seats each state has in Congress and your political representation at all levels of government.

For those who have not completed it, doing so only takes about ten minutes.

There are several ways to complete it:

• Online: https://my2020census.gov/
• Phone: 1-844-330-2020
• Mail: Complete your questionnaire you received in March and return it to the U.S. Census Bureau
