Making Sense of the Census
1,000 New
Reasons to
Complete
the Census
����������������������������

By Julie Menin, Director of NYC
Census 2020
The 2020 Census is still happening,
and there’s still time for you to
be counted. And now, there are 1,000
more reasons to fill it out.
Aside from the hundreds of billions
of dollars in funding the census
brings for our communities over
the next decade, the 2020 Census is
now bringing 10 lucky New Yorkers a
chance to win $1,000 in Seamless gift
cards.
As of Memorial Day weekend, just
over 50% of NYC households have responded
to the census. This is good
news, but we need to go much further.
The census is a national competition
for resources, and we need everyone
counted to make sure all our communities
get the funding we deserve for
our hospitals, emergency services,
health care, schools, housing, infrastructure,
and much more.
Especially as we recover from
COVID-19, those funds are going to
be more critical than ever. And at
this moment when so many of us
are still struggling through the pandemic,
this unprecedented partnership
isn’t just a great new incentive
to be counted, but also will be a helpful
source for at least a few New Yorkers.
Ready to be counted? Fill out the
2020 Census at my2020census.gov, take a
photo or screenshot of the confirmation
page, and upload it and complete the
entry form on nyc.gov/CensusContest.
Ten winners will be selected weekly
over the next ten weeks. So the sooner
you’re counted and enter, the more
chances you have to win.”
“Making Sense of the Census” is a
weekly column from Julie Menin, Director
of NYC Census 2020. Every week we
will be publishing pieces from Julie and
guest authors laying out the facts and
answering tough questions about this
year’s census. Fill out the census now at
my2020census.gov.
