Census 2020: Arlington’s Veterans Count

Most military households will be responsible for submitting their own 2020 Census form.
Members of the military will be counted with their household if that is where they live, but active duty service members may face some special circumstances.
Learn more about military households and the Census here.
Check out the U.S. Census Bureau’s military fact sheet for more information on how to be counted!
