A Census reminder!

April 1, 2010 in Uncategorized | No comments

From the U.S. Census Bureau…

Did you know?
It costs taxpayers just $0.42 per household if the once-in-a-decade US Census form is mailed back, but costs $57 per household to follow up with people who do not respond by mail. For every 1% increase in the number of households that mail the form back, taxpayers save about $85 million.

The 2010 US Census is…
Simple! The 10 questions on the census form should only take about 10 minutes to complete.
Safe! All information reported on the census form is kept strictly confidential.
Important! As the cornerstone of our representative democracy, the census determines the number of seats each state has in the US House of Representatives and ensures that every community receives its fair share of more than $400 billion in federal funds allocated each year.

Please fill out and mail back your form, and ask relatives, neighbors, friends and co-workers to do the same. With a small effort we can help ensure that everyone is counted and that everyone counts.
