Florida was one of the last states in the nation without a committee that encourages residents to participate in the once-a-decade headcount. The 2020 Census starts in two weeks in a remote area of Alaska. The rest of the nation takes part starting in March.
The count will help determine how many congressional seats each state gets and the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal spending.
