Census Forms Next Week

Census forms arrive next week. Please remember to fill yours out and return it by April 1.
Why is it so important? Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states; to make decisions about what community services to provide; to distribute $400 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year; and to allocate state legislative districts and draw County Council districts. Did I mention the $400 billion in federal funds? If that’s not motivation enough, completing the form on time helps you avoid visits from Census enumerators.
