Village's 2020 Census Response Rate Is Within 4% Points
of Breaking 2010's Response Rate!
 

Our Village's 2020 Census Response Rate is at 66.4%! We are just 4% points away from breaking our old 2010 Census Response Rate of 70.4%! The Village needs your help to get the word out about Census 2020! You can inspire others. Tell your neighbors that you completed the census, and that they should respond now, too! Visit 2020census.gov/en/how-to-help.html to find ways to help spread the word!

Have you received your water bill from Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW)? We want to thank them for their help in getting the word out about Census 2020. WJWW is including this flyer (in both English AND Spanish) in the bills residents receive in June.

Census takers will be visiting households who have not responded beginning August 11th. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s safer for the Census takers if they have fewer doors to knock on. So please help us help them by completing the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail. To complete the Census Questionnaire online, please visit My2020Census.gov.

Need help completing your Census Questionnaire? Our friends and partners at the Community Resource Center are offering Over the Phone Census Assistance in ENGLISH and in SPANISH!

You can complete the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail.
