The census is the foundation of our democracy. Data collected during the census is critical for helping guide how many dollars in federal assistance Oregon will receive over the next 10 years to fund our schools, hospitals and roads. It also determines the number of seats our state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives to lift the voices of Oregonians in Washington D.C.

A complete and accurate census count tells the story of Oregon — who we are and where we are going. From Tillamook to Ontario, Astoria to Klamath Falls, full participation in the upcoming census is vital to the prosperity of our communities. Make yourself count in 2020!
