For more than 200 years our country has used census results to help determine everything from government representation to school funding. Although today’s abbreviated questionnaires take only minutes to fill out, their impact is no less important.
It’s our responsibility to participate. It’s up to each of us to make sure that the goals of the census are achieved, improving our communities in the process. Only with universal participation can the census become an embodiment of the people, rather than a government instrument.
This pamphlet is intended to familiarize you with the census and answer any questions you might have. If you have any further questions or concerns about this or any other subject, please don’t hesitate to contact my office.
