2020 Census: Who To Count

The 2020 Census will count every person living in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories.

If you are completing the census for your home, you should count everyone who is living there as of April 1, 2020 (Census Day). That means everyone who is living and sleeping there most of the time.

You may have questions about how people in some special circumstances are counted on the 2020 Census, including people who move on Census Day, people born on Census Day, military members, and more.
