2010 CENSUS: Frequently Asked
Questions |
 |
|
Why should everyone participate in the
2010 Census?
- Census data shape the future of your
community and define your voice in Congress.
- Census information helps determine locations
for schools, roads, hospitals, child-care and senior citizen centers,
and more.
- Businesses use census data to locate
supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing and other facilities.
- The census determines how many seats each
state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the
boundaries of legislative districts.

How will the 2010 Census differ
from previous census efforts?
In the last census, one in six households received a long questionnaire
asking for detailed socioeconomic information. In 2010, every residence
will receive a short questionnaire that is simple and fast to complete
and return. More detailed information will be collected annually from a
small percentage of the population through the American
Community Survey.

Will the information the Census Bureau
collects remain confidential?
Yes. Every Census Bureau worker takes an oath for
life to protect the confidentiality of census responses. Violation would
result in a jail term of up to five years and/or fine of up to $250,000.
By law, the Census Bureau cannot
share an individual’s answers with anyone, including welfare and
immigration agencies.

Why are partners so important to
the 2010 Census campaign?
More than 140,000 organizations supported Census 2000, including state
and local governments, community- and
faith-based organizations, schools, media, businesses and others. The
Census Bureau relies on partners to help
explain the importance of completing the 2010 Census message to people
in every corner of the United States. This
is particularly important in areas isolated by language or geography. By
joining forces with partners, the Census
Bureau has a far greater chance to reach every U.S. resident than by
attempting this monumental task alone.
