Purpose

To conduct a census of population and housing and disseminate the results to the President, the States, and the American People.

Count everyone once, only once and in the right place.

Tompkins County’s Complete Census Count Committee, a special committee of the Tompkins County Legislature, is leading the County’s community-wide effort to reach out and help ensure a full count of county residents during the 2020 U.S. Census. 

Legislator Michael Lane, Chair of the Complete Census Count Committee, notes that its purpose is to make sure that as part of the Census everyone is counted in Tompkins County.
