Federal Census Update

Hello all,

I have just received an email from the U.S Census Bureau letting me know that they will be delivering Census Packages to individuals homes beginning this week. I just wanted to alert you, to This will include the invite to complete the census online as well as a paper census questionnaire. You can choose which to complete. As copy and pasted from the poster that is posted at various locations around town, even if you are a second home owner here, they are suggesting you still complete the census using the instructions below. Also if you visit https://2020census.gov/en/who-to-count.html, this provides a wealth of information in relation to the census and special circumstances. 

If you live at multiple places throughout the year, count yourself at the address where you live and sleep most of the time. If you split your time evenly between two or more places, count yourself where you were staying on April 1, 2020. However, a census response is required from each and every property. For any property you own but only use part of the time, follow these instructions:

1. Visit www.my2020census.gov

2. Enter the Census ID or address for this secondary property

3. Enter “0” for the number of people living at this property

4. Hit Next, and when a “soft error” occurs, click Next again

5. Select “No” when asked to confirm no person lives at this property

6. Select primary reason – Seasonal (most likely)

7. Complete! Following these instructions ensures all properties are counted! For more information go to 2020census.gov

Thank you for your cooperation in completing this essential task, 

April A. Curtin
