Roger Kestner, our local Census Office Manager, stopped by today to talk about the United States Census 2010. Here's a few facts:
Every year, the federal government can allocate more than
$400 billion to states and communities based, in part, on
census data.
Increased participation in the census will result in more
accurate data that media outlets can trust and share with the public in articles and reports.
Census information helps determine locations for schools,
roads, hospitals, job training, child-care and senior citizen
centers, and more.
Census data determine how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the boundaries of legislative districts.
With only 10 questions, the 2010 Census questionnaire is
one of the shortest questionnaires in history and takes just
10 minutes to complete.
By law, the Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s census questionnaire responses with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities.
