Detroit’s 2020 Census

Detroiters have to step up and be counted for the 2020 census, or the city will lose billions in federal funding over the next decade.

As of late July, we were barely half way there, which leaves a lot of work to do before the end of the year.

BridgeDetroit, with sponsoring funds from the Erb Foundation, is providing special coverage and engagement events to move the numbers higher. Check back here for frequent updates and information about Detroit’s push to make sure everyone gets counted.
