2020 Census Information
BE COUNTED:
The U.S. Constitution requires a census every 10 years. The first census was in 1790. Census numbers determine funding for many of the Delaware Tribe’s vital services and programs. For each man, woman and child who doesn’t get counted, it’s a loss of about $50,000 in federal funding over a decade that helps our tribal programs and services.
HOW TO RESPOND:
By April 1, 2020 each home will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 census. You will have three options for responding: online, by phone, or by mail.
Be sure to list everyone living in the household as of April 1, including all adults, children, extended family and nonrelatives.
If not all adults in the household are not tribal citizens, be sure to list the tribal citizen first on the survey. This helps
the tribe when applying for grants and other funding opportunities.
For each Delaware Citizen, mark your race as “American Indian“. It is important that you write “Delaware Tribe” in full as your tribal affiliation. If you just write Delaware, our tribe will not receive proper credit.
If you do not have access to a computer and want to report this way, there will be computers set up for your use at the Delaware Center and someone to assist you.
Your Confidentiality:
Your personal information is kept confidential. The Census Bureau is bound by federal law to protect your information, and your data is used only for statistical purposes. Your response will not affect your housing status, income guidelines or custody arrangements.
