Let's time-travel to 2092. Very, very few readers of this blog will be there when individual-level records from the 2020 census are released.

Remember how excited we were in 2012 when the 1940 census was released to the public? Imagine your descendants, in 72 years, finally getting a close look at your 2020 entries.

Have you completed the census questionnaire yet? You know how important it is, not just for genealogy but for deciding congressional representation and determining where millions of federal dollars are spent.

Nearly half Minnesota's households have responded. Minnesota and Wisconsin are virtually tied for the nation's highest response rate, at 46.4%. View response rates for states and counties here. 

Minnesota and Wisconsin led the nation in the 2010 Census with about 74% returning the mail-in questionnaires. This year, for the first time, you can fill out the online form at 2020census.gov. If you haven't done so already, today would be a good time!
