Help Make Sure that #KennedaleCounts in the 2020 Census

April 1, 2020 is National Census Day. By this date, every address should receive an invitation to respond in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. When you respond, you should report who will be living at your address as of April 1, 2020. However, that doesn't mean you have to wait. Responses will be accepted beginning Thursday, March 12. Watch your mailbox during mid-March for your invitation and unique code.
