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.

Counties Count on Census Data,Complete Yours Today!Census Day was April 1 – but you still have time to be counted! Census data is used to allocate billions of dollars in federal funding for education, health, transportation, housing, community services, and job training. Moreover, businesses and industries decide where to locate new facilities and services based on census data, creating new jobs and promoting economic growth. An accurate census count, or lack thereof, has a lasting effect on counties, particularly when it comes to the distribution of federal funds. An under-counted population may lead to a significant decline in federal funding flowing to the State and its local jurisdictions.
