I sent mine in, did you?
Every ten years, the Census Bureau undertakes a count of every person residing in the United States. The census is as old as our country– mandated in Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. constitution.
Census forms arrived by mail in mid-March. I completed my form and sent it in, did you? If you haven’t returned the 10-question survey, please do so right away. Yes, I admit mine sat on the counter for a week, but when I finally opened it, the form was quick and simple to complete.
An accurate count of the local population ensures that our area receives fair representation in government and our fair share of federal resources for services such as health care, education and more.
Return the Census survey or expect a visit
The Census Bureau must get a completed form from every U.S. residence. So if you don’t return the form by mail, a Census employee will visit. (These representatives will identify themselves with a Department of Commerce badge and a letter from the Census Bureau director on official letterhead.)
But don’t wait– $85 million in tax dollars are saved for every 1 percent increase in Census mail response. So, fill out that form and send it in today!
