The City of Menifee is helping get the word out about the importance of the 2020 Census for our City, Riverside County and for California. Taking part in the census is your right and civic duty.

Why it matters

• Distributing more than 700 billion in federal funding.
• Ensuring public safety and planning new schools and hospitals
• Improving old neighborhoods and developing new homes
• Decisions on where to build new offices and stores, creating more jobs
• Adding new representation in Congress
