As required by law, every 10 years the census counts all adults and children living in the United States to ensure communities are adequately funded and represented for the next decade.

It is critical that you complete the census and count everyone in your household! This includes grandparents, infants and young children, foster children, and nonrelatives who are living with you.

An accurate count is important because census results determine the allocation of more than $675 billion in federal funding each year to support essential services, including:

• School meals

• First Responders

• Highway and road repairs

• Medicare and Medicaid

• Rural home rental assistance

• Food assistance programs

• Libraries and community centers

Completing the census is safe. Your personal information is kept confidential and cannot be used for law enforcement purposes or to determine your personal eligibility for government benefits.
