The Census: A Snapshot
-The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years.
-The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States. This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, both citizens and non-citizens.
-The 2010 Census will create hundreds of thousands of temporary jobs across the nation.
It's in Our Hands: Your Participation in the 2010 Census Matters
-Every year, more than $300 billion in federal funds is awarded to states and communities based on census data.
-Census data guide local decision-makers in important community planning efforts, including where to build new roads, hosptials and schools.
-Census data affect your voice in Congress by determining how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives
-Businesses use census data to locate supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing and other facilities.
Completing the 2010 Census Questionnaire: Simple and Safe
-The 2010 Census questionnaire asks only a few simple questions of each person - name, relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns
or rents his or her home. This simple, short questionnaire takes just a few minutes to complete and return by mail.
-The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents or their household for 72 years. By law, the Census Bureau can not share an individuals's answers with anyone, including welfare, housing, police departments and immigration agencies.
