The census is a constitutionally mandated count of everyone living in the United States, regardless of their citizenship status. Conducted every ten years, the census is one of the nation’s most important programs. New Yorker’s fair share of federal funds for programs, as well as our congressional representation in Washington, D.C. all depends on an accurate and fully counted census response. Billions of dollars for New York State are at stake.
There are three ways to respond to the 2020 Census:
The census consists of just 10 basic questions: name, number of people living or staying the the home on April 1, 2020; whether the residence is a house, apartment, or mobile home; telephone number; sex; age; date of birth; Hispanic origin; race; and relationship with other household members.
The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. The information you provide is used only to produce statistics.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the timeline to complete the census has been extended to October 31, 2020.
New York State’s response rate to date has been 57.3%. It’s a little better for Oswego County and Parish, but we’re a long way from a complete response. If you haven’t responded yet, it’s not too late to help us get there!
June 24, 2020 — As Central New York has reached Phase 3 of the State’s reopening process, the Parish Village & Town Office Building (Gym) will re-open on Monday, June 29, 2020 to resume necessary business.
In so doing all protocols set forth by the Department of Health are to be adhered to. Upon entering the building everyone is to comply by the wearing of masks and maintain social distancing. Cleaning & disinfecting practices are in effect. For your safety and those around you, your attention to these requirements is appreciated.
At all times REMEMBER TO: wash your hands and cover your face in public.
We want to continue to keep our employees and the public safe during the remainder of this difficult time and thank you for your understanding & cooperation.
Village Mayor,
Kathryn Perkins
