Take the 2020 Census

Taking the census is critically important to making sure federal resources are properly allocated.

An undercount of the UF campus community in the 2010 Census contributed to a loss of $390 million in federal funding for Alachua County over the last decade.

You should be counted where you live and sleep most of the year and for most UF students, that means being counted within Gainesville.
