Taken every 10 years, the census
affects political representation and directs the allocation of billions of dollars in government funding. Help
ensure that everyone in the community is counted.
The simple, short questionnaire takes
just a few minutes to complete and return by mail. The Census Bureau protects information that identifies
respondents or their households for 72 years. Census questionnaires will be mailed to every residence in
March, 2010.
The 2010 Census will shape the future
of the community, define your voice in Congress and generate local employment opportunities. Census information
helps determine locations for schools, roads, hospitals, child-care and senior citizen centers. Businesses
use census data to locate supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing and other facilities. The census
determines how many seats each state will have in the U. S. House of Representatives as well as the boundaries of legislative
districts.
The 2010 Census will create hundreds
of thousands of temporary jobs across the nation. Each Census employee has identification issued by the federal government,
so make sure it is presented to you if they come to your door.
