Key Facts
about Census 2010:
- Census forms are
mailed in March 2010.
- Population
counts from the census
affect funding for our
communities, our
communities' representation
in Congress, and help inform
decision-making
in municipal and township
government and community
organizations.
- The census questionnaire
only takes a few minutes to
fill out and return by
mail-- no more long forms.
- Your responses are
strictly confidential
and protected by law. All
Bureau employees have sworn
for life to protect
confidentiality. Anyone
violating this oath is
subject to severe penalties
including a federal prison
sentence of up to five
years, a fine of up to
$250,000 or both. Private
information (names,
addresses, social security
numbers, employer ID numbers
or telephone numbers) will
never be disclosed or
published.

Census directly affects
how more than $300
billion per year in
federal and state
funding is allocated to
communities for
neighborhood
improvements, public
health, education,
transportation and more.
That's more than $3
trillion over a 10-year
period. Filling out this
information helps to
ensure our communities
get a fair share of the
federal and state funds.

voice in Congress.
Mandated by the U.S.
Constitution, the census
is also used to
apportion seats in the
U.S. House of
Representatives and to
redistrict state
legislatures.

Census affects your
representation in state
and local government.
Census data are used to
define legislature
districts, school
district assignment
areas and other
important functional
areas of government.

Census informs your
community's decisions.
The census is like a
snapshot that helps
define who we are as a
nation. Data about
changes in your
community are crucial to
many planning decisions,
such as where to provide
services for the
elderly, where to build
new roads and schools,
or where to locate job
training centers.
