If I live or stay in a garage or added structure at a property, how do I respond? To respond with a physical location on a property that does not have a separate address, utilize the “Street Address” option, enter the address, and include the description of the structure (e.g., “garage”) in the apartment/unit number field. If you reply by phone, you will be prompted to provide the same description. 

How do I respond for multiple people or families at a single address? Everyone living or staying at an address, even if they are not a member of your family, should be counted by the person filling out the census form for that address. There are no restrictions on the number of people who can be included on your form. The Census Bureau has ways to resolve duplicate responses if multiple people at the same address respond separately.

Why is the census important? 
Census numbers are used to distribute over $6 billion in federal funds to Kansas every year.  

For every uncounted Kansan the state could miss out on approximately $2,082 in federal funding.   

Census data is used to determine federal, state, and local voting districts.  

Businesses and government agencies consider population trends when choosing places to locate, which in turn boosts economic growth.  

The census is only once-every-10-years process; it’s crucial to get the count right or states that are undercounted will be shortchanged for a decade. 

Government, businesses, and other stakeholders use census data for infrastructure and transportation planning; emergency preparedness, disaster relief, education funding, health tracking, and disease control, and a multitude of other things. #KansasCounts # 2020Census
