United States

Census 2010

  • Why:  The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years.  The census will show state population counts and determine representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. 
  • How:  Census questionnaires will be delivered or mailed to households via U.S. mail in March 2010; many households will receive a replacement questionnaire in early April.  Census workers also will visit households that do not return questionnaires.

 A Complete Count:  The Importance of Census Data

  • Every year, the federal government can allocate more than $300 billion to states and communities based, inpart, on census data.
  • Census data affect school budgets, including the distribution of Title I funding and college tuition grant and loan programs.
  • Community planners use census data to determine where to build new schools, develop public transportation and create new roads.
  • Census data affect your voice in Congress as well as the redistricting of state legislatures, county and city councils and voting districts.

2010 Census Questionaire:  Quick, Easy & Confidential

  • 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 fedreral agencies and law enforcement entities.
