CENSUS 2020: STAND UP. GET COUNTED
How the Census benefits our community
Federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities are based on population totals and breakdowns by sex, age, race and other factors. Your community benefits the most when the census counts everyone. People in your community use census data in all kinds of ways, such as these:
Local government officials use the census to ensure public safety and plan new schools and hospitals.
Residents use the census to support community initiatives involving legislation, quality-of-life and consumer advocacy.
Businesses use Census Bureau data to decide where to build factories, offices and stores, and these create jobs.
Real estate developers and city planners use the census to plan new homes and improve neighborhoods.
The 2020 Census is important for you, your family, and our community.
STAND UP. GET COUNTED.
