Over $675 billion in federal funds are redistributed every year across the US using Census data, and for every person not counted, Kentucky stands to lose $2,021 per year for ten years. We simply cannot afford to leave money on the table.
#2020Census data will help local government plan for the future and determine where the over $675 billion a year in federal funding goes, for medical services, WIC, child care, public schools, public transit, and low-income housing.
The Census Bureau will start the door-knocking phase of the 2020 Census on August 11 in Kentucky. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail if you haven’t already done so for 3 reasons:
1. Self-response data is most accurate
2. It costs the government a LOT of money to send people door-to-door
3. Due to the current pandemic, you may be wary of answering the door
You still have time to answer the #2020Census before @uscensusbureau comes knocking on doors in August! Self-respond today online (2020census.gov), by phone (844-330-2020), or mail. #CountMeInKY
