Do the Right Thing for the Community:
Please Complete the Census
The federal Census is conducted just once every 10 years, and it determines how much federal funding communities receive for vital public services including public safety, schools, and social programs. So it's very important for MoVal to get an accurate count in the 2020 Census. To help make that happen, the City has created a special Census web page to provide information in English and Spanish, including in the form of videos featuring Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez.
 
 Important note: T he Census does NOT include a citizenship question and, by federal law, the U.S. Census Bureau must keep all personally identifiable information strictly confidential and may not share it with any other government agency, law enforcement, immigration officials or landlords.
