The decennial U.S. Census determines how many congressional seats each state gets and helps inform the distribution of $1.50 trillion in federal funding this year. Census data is used regularly within public and private sectors, and here at SmartAsset we use it to fuel free calculators and studies to help Americans make smart financial decisions.

In a new study, SmartAsset analyzed data to find the states and major U.S. cities with the highest 2020 Census response rates as of May 4, 2020. We also uncovered the locations with the highest percentage of respondents who have taken advantage of the new online response option introduced this year.

Out of the 50 most-populous U.S. cities, Dallas has the 10th-lowest response rate. About 48.6% of households in Dallas had completed their Census questionnaires as of May 4, 2020.
