Only Half of Community has Completed the 2020 Census
Thirteen days remain for the United States to meet its constitutional obligation to count every person residing in the country. Only 40% of the Watts community, 50% of the Wilmington community, 50% of the Harbor Gateway North community, and 50% of the Northwest San Pedro community have completed the 2020 Census. This means that for the next 10 years, each community will lose millions of dollars a year as well as government representation. The deadline to fill out the Census is Sept. 30. Your information is secure and confidential. You can still submit online, by phone, or by mail with a postmark of Sept. 30, 2020 or earlier to:
