Important Dates - Overall Timeline 

• January 2020—The first enumeration for the 2020 Census takes place in Toksook Bay, Alaska. In remote areas like this, Local census takers must get a head start while the frozen ground allows easier access to these areas.
• Mid-March 2020—Nationwide, the public can begin responding to the 2020 Census online at 2020census.gov. Replying by mail or phone will also be an option. Everyone who hasn’t already responded will receive a paper questionnaire in April.
• April 1, 2020—Every 10 years, we observe Census Day on April 1. By this date, every home will have received an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census.

When you respond to the census, you’ll tell the Census Bureau where you live as of April 1, 2020, even if it is before April 1.
