Take the Census Today10 minutes is all it takes!
National Self-Response Rate: 45.7%
Florida's Self-Response Rate: 44.2%
Hollywood's Self-Response Rate: 40.2%
While we all continue to do our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home, all are encouraged to participate in the United States Census. Completing the entire Census takes only about ten minutes.
Visit www.my2020census.gov and click "Start Questionnaire." If you don’t have your 12-digit Census ID number, you can still participate by entering your address after clicking the "Start Questionnaire" button. If you are unable to respond online, need help or would like to request a paper questionnaire, please call the toll-free assistance hotline: 1-844-330-2020. Census workers will be deployed beginning April 27th to homes who have yet to participate.
It is important that you participate, as the amount of federal funding the City, County and State gets for infrastructure improvements, schools, hospitals and disaster recovery is tied to the community's census data. An accurate count of all Hollywood residents will help to ensure we receive our fair share of funding over the next 10 years.
