Why be counted? Census 2010

Every year, the federal government allocates more than $400 billion to states and communities based, in part, on census data.

The census data are used to determine locations for retail stores, schools hospitals, new housing developments and other community facilities.

Did you know that ancestry tracking uses the census data?

Census data determine boundaries for state and local legislative and congressional districts. Minnesota could lose a district if we don't county everyone.

Don't forget the snowbirds that go south for the winter. We want them to be counted in Minnesota!!

Watch for your census questionaire in the mail during February or March 2010.
