83 Percent Of Northbrook Residents Have Completed The Census

NORTHBROOK, IL—Eighty-three percent of residents have completed their census, Northbrook officials said Monday.

With only one month left, official census takers are visiting homes that have not yet responded.

Census takers work between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., including weekends. If no one is home when the census taker visits, the census taker will leave a notice of their visit with information about how to respond online, by phone or by mail.

A resident'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 be used to determine the number of seats each state has in Congress and your political representation at all levels of government.

"An accurate count will ensure Northbrook receives appropriate funding and representation for the next decade," Northbrook officials said on their official Facebook page.

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
