PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. The United States Constitution requires a census every 10 years and the 2020 Census is more crucial than ever. The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. To date, 93 million households, nearly 63 percent of all households in the U.S., have responded to the 2020 Census. The U.S. Census Bureau is ending all counting efforts for the 2020 census on Sept. 30, 2020. You can fill out the census online, by phone, or fill out the census questionnaire that you received in the mail.
