Village's 2020 Census Response Rate Is Within 5% Points
of Breaking 2010's Response Rate!

 

Our Village's 2020 Census Response Rate hit 65.8%! That puts the Village of Mamaroneck within 5% points of breaking our old 2010 Census Response Rate of 70.4%! We need 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!

Census takers begin visiting households who have not responded on August 11th and the Village hopes to hit (or even better exceed) 70.4% by then. 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.
