The census is important for all REALTORS® because completing the 2020 census means more resources for businesses and communities across the country.


The data is also used for redistricting purposes and for reapportionment, to ensure fair representation in Congress. Last fall, NAR launched its Census Awareness Campaign to ensure that all 1.4 million REALTOR® members are informed about the upcoming census and to encourage all members to complete the 2020 census. Additionally, NAR has published an online Census Guide to help members, stakeholders, and state and local associations to learn more about the impact of the census. For more additional information about the census, please visit 2020census.gov (link is external).
