The deadline for the 2020 Census is Sept. 30th. Please make sure your household is counted as it only takes 10 minutes! What does the census do for you? It ensures that New Mexico receives federal funding for the next decade—funding that supports our roads, schools, public safety, and more. We all rely on these things every day, so make sure you’re counted.
Fill out your census online, by phone, or by mail today at my2020census.gov
Remember: 10 minutes, 10 years of funding.
