The Census = Equity, Power & Money

With the 2020 Census count extended until October 31, it's not too late to ensure that all our communities – especially the communities that have historically been left behind – are seen, are heard, and are counted. Learn more in the latest report from Kids Count Director, Nancy Wagman.

...The Census Counts for Billions 

The risks of a census undercount are real and long-lasting. More than $3.3 billion in funding is coming into our state and local communities from just one recent piece of federal legislation, and this total is directly affected by the decennial census of ten years ago. Moreover, it is precisely the people who were most likely missed by the 2010 Census – communities of color, immigrants, low-income residents, young children – who are among the people most vulnerable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, most affected by the economic downturn, and most in need of the relief provided by these federal dollars.
