News from City of Lilburn - August 2020

Have You Been Counted? Census takers start home visits on August 11

The Census Bureau sent questionnaires to homes around the country. Completing the census is easy, critical, and safe. The 2020 Census is the first time people can fill out their census online on mobile devices or desktop computers. You can also respond by phone or by mail. Census counts shape legislative and congressional districts, determine how federal and state resources are distributed (more people means more resources and services), and influence critical policy decisions. Also, it is illegal for anyone to share your personal information disclosed in the census. Your information will only be used for statistics. For more information, visit 2020Census.gov.
