That's why it's so important that you fill in the form and
promptly mail it back. Census information affects the numbers of
seats your state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives.
And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate
for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research
markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.
When you do the math, it's easy to see what an accurate count
of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure.
More services. A brighter tomorrow for everyone. In fact, the
information the census collects helps to determine how more than
$400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on
infrastructure and services like:
- Hospitals
- Job training centers
- Schools
- Senior centers
- Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
- Emergency services
Participation isn't just important—it's mandatory.
