 If you have already completed your survey or
complete it prior to August 11th, a Census taker will not visit your
home.
CAPCIL encourages residents to either self-respond or cooperate with
the census takers to ensure the community and state receives an
accurate count. Your participation is critical in protecting
community resources and services you value most. For every person
that is left uncounted, the state of Illinois loses $1,400 per year
or a total of $14,000 until the next census count. The decreased
state funding can affect schools, healthcare facilities, senior
services, infrastructure updates, social services, SNAP and several
others.
If you would like to self-respond, please visit my2020census.gov to
answer a nine-question online survey, by calling 1-844-330-2020 to
complete a phone survey or by calling CAPCIL’s Central Office at
217-732-2159 for live survey assistance.
Households that have not responded will receive a visit from a
certified US Census taker.
All Census takers have been trained on social
distancing protocols and will follow CDC and local public health
guidelines. Each Census taker can be easily identified by a valid
government photo ID, U.S Department of Commerce watermark and
expiration date. Residents may confirm a census taker’s identity by
calling 312-579-1500. Any household member 16 years or older are
eligible to answer questions for the residence. Collected
information will be recorded using an electronic device.
