Census Thermometer at 71%MAMARONECK, NY, September 15, 2020 --- The United States Census Bureau announced today that 71.1% of households in the Village of Mamaroneck have now completed their 2020 Census questionnaires, breaking the Village’s 20-year participation rate from the 2000 Census.

“This is a significant achievement for our Village; residents have stepped up to the challenge of participating in this once-a-decade civic event,” said Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy. “Due to the ongoing health and safety concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew the job would be more difficult in 2020, yet Village residents have responded tremendously. I encourage folks who haven't filled out the form to get it done before September 30th.”

The announcement comes with 15 days remaining before the 2020 Census is scheduled to end on September 30th.

Village residents who have yet to complete their Census are reminded that there is still time to complete their Census questionnaires. Remember:

  • There are no questions about immigration, citizenship or financial information and responses are 100% confidential.
  • The more of us who fill out the Census, the more money our community will receive from the federal government for hospitals, healthcare, schools and housing over the next 10 years.
  • The census is for everyone: every race, every nationality, every religion. Whether you are a citizen or non-citizen, on the lease or off the lease -- you should fill out the census!

Census takers are now visiting households who have not responded. These Census takers know to follow public health guidelines when they visit residences, wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing. The Census takers can be identified by their valid government ID badge with their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date.

Remember, you don't need to be visited by a Census taker to complete the Census! You can STILL complete your 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail.
