It’s an operation that seems to have been de-popularized and obscured over the last few generations, but the importance of the U.S. Census in 2020 is no less than it ever has been.

Rochelle Burks of TRAILS Ministries in Beaver Falls joined Matt Drzik on A.M Beaver County to discuss the 2020 U.S. Census, of which the deadline to submit information for it is September 30. To fill out the information, go to 2020census.gov and follow the procedures.

Burks elaborated on the importance of taking the Census, particularly for those who are without a home or place to live, and for the municipalities who may benefit from proper representation. She also spoke about how the process to complete the Census is not as tedious or long-winded as it may seem, as it only takes a few minutes to fill out the information. The information will then be used and considered for a full decade, to which Burks commented about the time factor as a positive investment for citizens, their neighbors, and their community.
