United States Census 2010

Every Year the Federal Government allocates more than $400 billion to states and communities based, in part, on census data. Census data are used to determine locations for retail stores, schools, hospitals, new housing developments and other community facilities. Census data also determines boundaries for state and local legislative and congressional districts. The census has only 10 questions and takes only 10 minutes to complete. By law the Census Bureau cannot share individual responses with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. Be Counted in 2010, we move forward when you send it back.
