Voice of My Community: census Story Collection Form
The U.S. Census Bureau asks us to educate leaders in Washington, D.C. and in our own hometowns by filling out surveys. Not simply the big decennial surveys (2020, 2030, etc.) but a variety of smaller surveys on various topics. Your responses help guide funding and programs to cities, counties, and states.
