2010 Census
Monday, February 08, 2010 - 12:06 PM
2010 Census forms will be mailed to households in mid-March.
Households will be asked to answer ten questions as accurately as possible and return the form by April 1. If you don't return the completed form, a Numerator worker will have to visit your home in order to gather the data. We can save the government millions of dollars by returning the form through the mail on time.
The goal of the 2010 Census is to count everybody, count them only once, and count them in the right place.
The Decennial Census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution which calls for an actual enumeration or count of the people every ten years, to be used for apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives. One of the main reasons that people need to be diligent in cooperating with the Census Bureau in a timely and accurate way is because it impacts the state in which we live. Each question on the form helps to determine how more than $300 billion will be allocated to communities across the country.
Your answers on the Census form are strictly confidential and are protected by law. It is illegal for the Census Bureau, or its employees, to share your personal information with any other government agency. The Census Bureau also protects the information that identifies respondents for 72 years. Old census data is the premier source for family genealogy. The older census data is a great way to find out information about your family from long ago.
So when that form arrives in your mailbox, promptly fill it out and send it in.
