Census 2010
The U.S. Constitution requires that a census be conducted of every single person living in the United States. On April 1, 2010, every household in America will receive a short questionnaire in the mail that contains 10 simple questions. You will be asked the name, gender, age, race, ethnicity and relationship of all individuals living in the home. The form will also ask whether you own or rent your home. The 2010 Census is one of the shortest questionnaires in history and should take only about 10 minutes to complete.
Because funding is distributed to cities and towns based on population, when you complete your Census 2010 questionnaire you ensure that thousands of your tax dollars are returned to Scottsdale in critical services for you and your family. These services can range from safety and health programs to parks and transportation facilities—programs that improve your life.
Your answers alone can mean the difference of thousands of dollars to Scottsdale over the next 10 years. Multiply that by your neighbors’ responses, and that means millions in these tough times!
