Today Mail delivery of 2010 census questionnaire begins |
|
The answers also will determine congressional districts and guide how more than $400 billion in federal funds is allocated to towns and cities across America for schools, hospitals, transportation and road projects, emergency-response tools and other local needs. That means it's critically important that every person — including people who are homeless or living in the United States illegally — is included in the count.
Beginning today, the U.S. Postal Service will deliver 2010 census questionnaires to mailboxes throughout the land, with a goal of counting every person living in America and learning more about the demographics of its people.
“If even 100 people in Buncombe County are not counted, that could mean $1 million less for the county each year for the next 10 years,” said Ken Richards, of Asheville, who is working in public relations for the census project in 13 North Carolina counties. “Whatever we find out in the 2010 census will last until the next census in 2020.”
