Don’t be left out of the count!
What is the Census? Every 10 years, the U.S. government counts everyone, regardless of age or citizenship status. This year, the Census is available online, by phone, or by mail
Top Reasons to Fill Out Your Census Form
It’s About Your MONEY: North Carolina receives about $23.8 billion a year in federal funding from Census data for vital things like education, health care, and transportation. The number of people counted in your community decides how much government money comes back to where you live.
It’s About Your POWER: The number of people counted in your community affects how voting districts are drawn, who you get to vote for, and how many people represent you. More people counted means more political power at all levels.
It’s About Your FUTURE: Government and business leaders use the Census to make plans for your community – including whether you’ll get new grocery stores, hospitals, schools, and more.
