Household Pulse Survey

The Household Pulse Survey is a 20-minute online survey that measures how emergent social and economic issues are impacting households across the country.

Your participation will help federal and state officials direct aid, assistance, and support to the people and places that need it most. This survey provides information that cannot be collected elsewhere. Your response is key.

If you have been selected to participate in the Household Pulse Survey, you will receive an email from survey@census.gov or a text message from 39242* (message and data rates may apply) with a link to complete the survey. If we have not received a response from you, you may receive up to 3 follow-up reminders.
