United States Census 2010
Make sure you're countedWhy the 2010 Census matters to you
Participation in the 2010 Census is in everyone's best interest. Decision makers determine which communities, schools, hospitals and roads are in need of federal funding by using information collected by the Census. Filling out your census form is the best way to make sure your community gets the representation it deserves.
Help your community thrive
Does your neighborhood have a lot of traffic congestion, elderly people living alone, or over-crowded schools? Census numbers help your community with public improvement strategies.
Make government work for you
Billions of dollars in federal and state funds are allocated to communities each year and can be used for education programs, hospitals and highways.
Get help when you need it
Many 911 emergency systems are based on maps developed by the Census. When floods, tornadoes or earthquakes hit, the Census tells rescuers how many people need help.
