| Census Day is April 1, 2010! The US Census is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. The next census will occur in 2010. |
|
| It's important. Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute $400 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year. |
|
| It's easy. The 2010 Census Form will have just 10 questions to answer and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. |
|
| It's confidential. Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census. Census data is strictly confidential--not even the President of the United States can access individual responses! |
|
| It's required by law. A decennial census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution, and participation in the census is required. It's quick and easy, though; help make a difference in your community by spreading the word about the 2010 Census! |
