As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to have an impact on the country and our local communities, the safety, health and welfare of all Nevadans is a top priority.
Despite growing concerns about the public health situation, the census is easier than ever for Nevadans to complete through one of three safe, confidential and quick ways from the comfort of their own homes: online (www.census.nv.gov), via phone (844-330-2020; for Spanish 844-468-2020), or mail in the hard copy questionnaire. This helps keep everyone safe – residents and census workers alike.
Reminder letters are currently being sent from the U.S. Census Bureau in the mail along with instructions of how to fill out the form. If residents have not received any information or the form in the mail by April 1, please call the U.S. Census Bureau’s hotline at 844-330-2020 (for Spanish call 844-468-2020).
Additionally, if you are a
resident who does not receive mail through the U.S. Postal Service, does not
have access to a computer or wi-fi at your home, or needs help filling out the
questionnaire, you are encouraged to call the U.S. Census Bureau’s hotline to
complete the questionnaire over the phone.
There are also public computer stations at local libraries and community
centers throughout the state. Locations can be found by visiting https://census.nv.gov/computer-stations/. Volunteers and employees are taking every
precaution to help keep visitors and themselves healthy, including frequent disinfecting computer equipment and
surfaces, and frequent handwashing. If you would like more information about
the most current protocols in place at the public computer stations, please
email questions to nvcensus2020@gov.nv.gov.
In the meantime, please monitor www.census.nv.gov and www.nvhealthresponse.nv.gov for updated information about the 2020 census and guidance on how to protect yourself and loved ones.
