Remember, 2010 is a US Census Year!
Just a friendly reminder to send in your census survey and remind your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to do the same! The form only asks 10 questions and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. And if you don’t send it back, Census workers will make a visit to your household to take a count in person.
Why is the census important?
- Census data directly affect how more than $300 billion per year in federal and state funding is allocated to communities for neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation and much more.
- 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 data are used to define legislature districts, school district assignment areas and other important functional areas of government.

just got my reminder in the mail today. thanks for the extra reminder.
thank you for this post-taking your part by filling out your census is VERY important.
Just mailed mine back today. Thought if I didn’t do it right away I would forget.
I just got mine in the mail 2 days ago and quickly filled it out. I completely agree with you, the Census is important and it only comes around every 10 years so there really isn’t any excise to do it. Thanks for caring the video, I thought it was funny
We got ours, completed it, and sent it back. They have really simplified the form. I guess I’m a nerd, I’m excited to see what the data shows as far as population changes in my state, per age, race, etc.
LoL, I found out the hard way when the census people showed up at my door with list in hand.
I finally mailed mine back in!
Thanks for the reminder!
