The U.S. Census Bureau announced all Census self-response and field data collection will conclude Thursday, October 15, 2020, following a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. To date, an estimated 30 percent of North Carolinians have yet to respond to the 2020 Census. This equates to a potential loss of $54 billion in funding over the next decade for communities across the state.

"With tomorrow's deadline upon us, it's critical that every North Carolinian fill out the Census," said Governor Roy Cooper. "Completing the Census is safe, easy and important. It takes less than 10 minutes to help shape our state's future for the next 10 years."

The Census will determine how much federal funding North Carolina gets for education, healthcare, transportation, disaster recovery, community service programs, economic planning and development and other critical services. A potential undercount could also determine whether North Carolina gains an additional congressional seat.
