The Census is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years.  This count will be done via forms that will be mailed or delivered to your household February-March of 2010.

    • It’s important. – Census data affect funding for your community (education, public health, facilities, etc.) , your community’s representation in Congress and your community leader’s planning decisions.

    • It’s easy. – The census questionnaire takes only a few minutes to answer and return by mail.

    • It’s confidential. – Your responses are protected by law (Title 13, U.S. Code, Section 9).

Immigration status DOES NOT matter in filling out these forms.

They WILL NOT ask about visa status or share information with other agencies.
