Census
2010- Why Census participation is Important
The
official 10-year U.S. census will occur this spring 2010. The
Census Bureau will mail survey forms to each household. It
is very important that each Macon household completes this form
and returns it to the Census Bureau. Accurate population
counts for the 2010 census is very important.
Census
data is used by many sectors of society. Governments use census
data to draw legislative boundaries, establish voting districts,
allocate federal and state funding, and locate facilities like
libraries, fire stations, and schools. Private industry uses
census data to calculate market share, forecast product demand,
locate new business markets, and establish distributorships.
Institutions use census data to conduct market research, evaluate
the success of public programs, and implement a host of services
like job training, English language, and veteran’s support.
Individuals use census data to make better choices about home
buying, job relocation, or starting a small business.
