US
Census 2010, a Law and a Right
|
The
U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by
the Constitution to take place every 10 years.
The 2010 Census will help communities
receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:
- Hospitals
- Job training centers
- Schools
- Senior centers
- Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
- Emergency services
The data
collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state
has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
We can't move forward until you
mail it back.
In
March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the
United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10
short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope
provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will
ask you the questions from the form. The
majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in
areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a
bilingual (English/Spanish) form. Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.
This announcement was made possible
through support from the Asian Pacific Fund
