The Census is a snapshot of the American public. It gives a quick overview of the age, income, and ethnicity of the people who live here.
Now, imagine a family portrait of the United States and your tía wasn’t in it. And neither was your sister.
You look again and find that…you weren’t in it.
C’mon, get in the picture! Taken every 10 years, the information from this snapshot helps the government decide how to distribute $400 billion dollars (or the equivalent of 57 million students’ yearly college tuition) yearly to schools, hospitals, and local development projects. Everything from how we buy houses to how we vote is determined by the data that you provide the Census with.
The Census form is secure and is easy to fill out. The form comes in through snail mail, and takes only 10 minutes to fill out and send back. And it does not ask about immigration status. In fact, there’s a penalty if anyone shares your information with other government agencies.
10 minutes is all it takes to improve the next 10 years…pretty good deal, huh?
