2020 CENSUS

The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for our community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.

Participating in the census is required by law. A complete and accurate count is critical for our community, because the results of the 2020 Census will affect community funding, congressional representation, and more.

Have you completed your 2020 Census Yet?

A 2020 Census Recruiting Assistant will have a MQA (Mobile Questionnaire Assistance) site located in front of the Funkstown Post Office on Monday, August 17, 2020 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. to assist any Funkstown Resident that has not yet completed the 2020 Census.

Stop by in front of the Funkstown Post Office to complete your 2020 Census and receive a small free give-a-way. (While supplies last)
