Now’s the Time to Complete the 2020 U.S. Census
Every ten years, the U.S. Census counts every person living in the United States.
The 2020 U.S. Census is happening NOW and it has never been easier to respond on your own, whether online, over the phone, or by mail—all without having to meet a census taker.
The 2020 U.S. Census is SAFE, EASY, and IMPORTANT!
SAFE:
• Private information gathered is safe, confidential, and cannot be shared with anyone.
EASY:
It takes just a few minutes to complete the 2020 U.S. Census:
• Online at https://my2020census.gov/
• By phone in 13 languages: English 844-330-2020; Spanish 844-468-2020 (for more languages visit https://2020census.gov/languages). Phone lines open 7am to 2am Eastern Time.
• By mail: You will receive a paper copy in the mail. Fill it out and return it by mail.
IMPORTANT:
The number of people counted in the 2020 U.S. Census will be used for the next TEN years to impact how much federal and state money comes to our community to help pay for:
• Healthcare
• Education
• SNAP benefits
• Roads
• Transportation
• Housing
• and more.
A 3% undercount in Franklin County will mean we will lose about $50 million in state and federal funds over a ten-year period.

Town Census
Please check the mail for census forms from the Town Clerk. These forms are used for updating our Street List and ensuring accurate voter information. Please make corrections and sign before returning. If you did not receive a census form, please call the Town Clerk at 863-8103.
The census mailing also gives you the opportunity to license dogs by mail. Please register your pet as soon as you can. The fee is $5 if the dog is spayed or neutered and $10 for all others. All dogs must be licensed by March 31st to avoid a late fee.
