What is the Census?
When we all answer the Census, our needs are heard.
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the
Constitution to take place every 10 years. The 2010 Census will help communities
receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:
- Hospitals
- Job Training Centers
- Schools
- Senior Centers
- Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
- Emergency Services
The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state
has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
