The decennial census will collect information about those living in every U.S. household – driving funding for countless essential federal programs. This year’s Census can be completed over phone, through the mail and – for the first time ever – online. Your privacy is the Census Bureau’s top concern, so you will not be asked for social security numbers; a donation; or anything on behalf of a political party. Learn more about the census – coming April 1, 2020 – at nar.realtor/census. #RealtorsCount @nardotrealtor
The #2020Census is coming soon. Full participation means our schools, fire departments & roads receive the resources & support they need. As community leaders, Realtors® can help drive the cause!

Your responses are confidential, but your participation is key. Learn more at nar.realtor/census. #RealtorsCount @nardotrealtor
