If you are filling out the census for your home, you should count everyone who is living there as of April 1, 2020. This includes any friends or family members who are living and sleeping there most of the time. If someone is staying in your home on April 1, and has no usual home elsewhere, you should count them in your response to the 2020 Census. Please also be sure to count roommates, young children, newborns, and anyone who is renting space in your home. These people are often missed in the census. This means they can miss out on resources for themselves and their communities over the next 10 years. For more information visit WWW.CENSUS.GOV and search Who to Count.
