*** 2020 Census Kick-Off Meeting ***
Volusia County Government and community partners will kick off a 2020 Census
awareness campaign at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the Emergency Operations
Center, 3825 Tiger Bay Road, Daytona Beach.
Individuals and representatives from cities, businesses, social service agencies and
faith-based organizations are invited to attend the meeting and learn how they can help
spread the word about the importance of completing census forms.
Chaired by Volusia County Council members Barbara Girtman and Billie Wheeler, the
local committee will include nine subcommittees representing local governments,
businesses, colleges and universities, community organizations, early learning, faithbased
organizations, housing, farm workers/agriculture, and senior citizens.
Data collected by the 2020 Census will affect how more than $675 billion in federal funds
will be distributed to state, local and tribal governments each year. It also will be used to
draw state legislative districts and determine the number of seats each state has in the
House of Representatives.
In mid-March, every household in the United States will receive an invitation to
participate in the 2020 Census. For the first time, they will have the option of responding
online, by phone or by mail.
In 2010, 74% of Volusia County households in Volusia County completed their census
forms; this equaled the national response rate. Those who did not respond received
visits from census workers, who helped them complete the form.
Residents are required by law to complete and return the forms by April 1. The Census
2020 form will ask for name, age, gender, race, date of birth, relationship to the head of
the household, and whether the respondents own or rent their home. It will not include a
citizenship question.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis about our nation and its people.Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $400 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year.
Through the ACS, we know more about jobs and occupations, educational attainment, veterans, whether people own or rent their home, and other topics. Public officials, planners, and entrepreneurs use this information to assess the past and plan the future. When you respond to the ACS, you are doing your part to help your community plan hospitals and schools, support school lunch programs, improve emergency services, build bridges, and inform businesses looking to add jobs and expand to new markets, and more.
