United States Census  top

United States Census

You should receive a mailing from the United States Census during the week of March 15, 2010.  Please keep an eye out for this very important envelope.
It is important that we count every single person living in our towns and cities. The Census only happens every ten years, and the results are used to establish our representation in Congress and in the Maryland General Assembly. Federal funding for many essential education, transportation and human services are set by the population counted in the Census. Our community will lose thousands of federal dollars for every resident we fail to count. Please remember that the information you provide to the Census cannot, by law, be shared with anyone else, not even another government agency. Your information is safe!
And filling out the form could not be easier. The 2010 Census form is just ten questions and will take you only ten minutes to fill out. That ten minutes will help determine OUR future for the next ten years. When you receive your form in the middle of March, please fill it out, including every person living in your residence.  Mail the form back in the postage paid envelope by April 1. If you don't, the Census Bureau will have to pay someone to come to your house to collect the information in person.Please mail your form back so our communities can move forward!
For more information on Census 2010 visit www.2010.census.gov.
