Last Month to Complete the Census

The U.S. Census Bureau is ending all counting efforts for the 2020 Census on September 30th, a month sooner than previously announced. Please! All Margate residents must be counted.

Census takers will be going door-to-door to follow-up with residents who have not submitted their census form.

To avoid a visit from a census taker, households can still respond online at 2020census.gov, by phone at 844-330-2020, or by completing and mailing back the paper questionnaire they received. Responses can be made in one of 13 languages online or by phone.
