Everyone counts.

Did you know that the United States Census greatly influences the community in which you live and work? The data collected in the 2020 Census is extremely important because it ensures fair representation in Congress, aids with redistricting and dictates funding for federal programs, including for schools and hospitals throughout the country.

What does it mean for REALTORS®?

The success of your business greatly relies on the unique landscape of your community. The data collected in the U.S. Census will impact things like neighborhood development, home values and property taxes, where businesses decide to open (which expands job opportunities) and provide valuable information about population shifts and buyer demographics.
