The City of Pipestone 2020 Census

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, America gets just one chance every ten (10) years, to count its population. The data collected by the decennial census determines the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. 

Achieving an accurate census count is imperative for our democracy. To ensure the 2020 Census accurately counts Pipestone resident's, the City has established a community-led Complete Count Committee to guide the engagement campaign. 

Benefit your community – complete the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail. It is critical in emergency response situations to have census data about where people live. Census data are used to allocate billions of dollars in federal funding each year, including for emergency response services

Also, did you know that you can track self-response rates here via the  Rate Response Map?  The daily updates offer real-time indicators of engagement needs for motivating self-response.
