BE COUNTED!

   
 
 

DID YOU KNOW

 

The Census is Safe

  • By federal law the Census bureau CANNOT share Census information with any individual or local, state or federal agency, bureau or department.  It CANNOT share information with law enforcement at any level.
  • The Census Bureau CANNOT share individual information with the President of the United States.
  • Census data is on a computer system that is not shared with any other state, local, or federal agency, bureau or department.
  • Census data is aggregated so that all information is shared using gross numbers and percentages.  Individual information CANNOT be shared for 72 years. 
  • The penalty for breaking the law is 5 years in prison or a $250,000 fine or both.  The Census Bureau does prosecute people who break the law.

The Census Serves You

 

Census collects information to produce statistics.  Over $400 billion is allocated annually by the federal government using census data.  It supports services you and your family may use including:

  • Student loans
  • Public transportation
  • Libraries
  • Hospitals
  • Schools
  • Title I public school funding
  • Free and reduced lunch to children
  • Food banks
  • Job training
  • Social services
  • Section 8 housing and affordable housing reimbursements
  • Emergency services

BE COUNTED: 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.
