Why should everyone participate in the 2010 Census?

Census data shape the future of your community and define your voice in Congress.
Census information helps determine locations for schools, roads, hospitals, child-care and senior citizen centers, and more.
Businesses use census data to locate supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing, and other facilities.
The Census determines how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the boundaries of legislative districts.

When is the Census?

Census Day is April 1, 2010.

For more information on Census 2010, go to www.census.gov/2010census.
