New Jersey needs a Fair and Accurate Census 2020. Check out our new website, which includes interactive maps to find Hard to Count (HTC) areas near you, resources, news and more! Almost everything we know about our population and our communities comes from information collected during the decennial census and its related surveys. When New Jersey residents are not counted, the state loses funding and influence. Read the full policy paper.

Regardless of the final outcome, we must all stand up for a fair and accurate count of all residents of New Jersey. Read more about what non-profits can do here.
