The Trump administration & his Supreme Court is shutting it down.

The deadline to fill out the 2020 census is less than 24 hours away.

Mail-in responses must be postmarked by today.

Online responses are due by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the count could end today instead of on Oct. 31.

City census officials say the response rate in the five boroughs is nearly on par with the rest of the U.S.

"We have aggressively closed the gap between the country's self-response rate and the city's, and so right now we're five points away from the national self-response rate. In 2010, we were 14 points away,” said NYC Census Director Julie Menin.

City officials say if New York is undercounted and misrepresented, the city could possibly lose billions of dollars in COVID-19 relief and up to two seats in Congress and the Electoral College.
