Statewide Iowa — The 2020 census will begin with a mailing starting in mid-March. Census Bureau spokesperson Maureen Schriner says it’s important that everyone looks for and completes the census form to be counted. Schriner says the census determines our legislative representation and also determines how much money communities get from the federal government.
Schriner says some people are concerned that the information they provide on the completed census forms will be readily available. She says that information is kept confidential.
She says the information is only released in an aggregate form.
Additional information about the census can be obtained by going on-line at www.2020census.gov.
