As Census 2020 project coordinator, Alberder will be leading the City of Minneapolis's efforts to ensure that all Minneapolis residents are accurately counted in this year's census.

Minneapolis Census

The U.S. Census is a count of all residents in the United States taken every 10 years and is required by the U.S. Constitution. It is used to determine political representation and federal funding distribution for governments, including at the state and local levels. In 2020, it will determine how many congressional representatives Minnesota will have for the next decade. Getting an accurate and complete count of all residents is vital. The Neighborhood & Community Relations Department leads the City of Minneapolis' efforts to ensure a complete count.
