The U.S. Census Bureau is reminding everyone their being counted will affect the locations for roads, public transportation, retail stores, schools, hospitals, senior centers, new housing developments, and other community facilities. More than $400 billion is allocated to states and communities each year based, in part, on census data.

Updated Census data allows for local emergency service providers to receive up-to-date maps that in turn ensure faster response in the event of a local crisis. Census information is also used to determine boundaries for state and local legislative and congressional districts.

Completed Census surveys should be returned by April 1, 2010. Those who do not mail back their confidential form should anticipate a census taker to follow-up in person. The Census Bureau is very successful in getting participation by explaining the importance of the questions asked and how the information benefits communities. Participation in the 2010 Census is vital and required by law, Section 221, of Title 13 of the U.S. Code.
