LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County partners with the U.S. Census Bureau to support the 2010 Census
LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County are partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau to raise awareness of the 2010 Census and to help achieve a complete and accurate count of the growing and changing U.S. population. The partnership is part of a larger effort by the Census Bureau to increase participation in the 2010 Census. Census data directly affect how more than $400 billion per year in federal funding is distributed to state, local and tribal governments, and are used to distribute congressional seats to states.
“As an organization that serves the informational needs of the community, we are dedicated to ensuring every resident – citizen and noncitizen – understands the importance of participating in the 2010 Census,” said Cheryl Mencsik, LaGrange County 2010 Census Coordinator. “We are honored to partner with the Census Bureau on this critical initiative and are committed to help increase overall participation in 2010.”
As trusted sources of information in the community, media organizations can share important details about the census, conduct a variety of partnership activities and encourage people to complete and return their 2010 Census forms. LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County will help deliver information to the general public and many of the hard-to-count and undercounted groups, such as immigrants, migrant workers and ethnic populations. In addition, LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County will help to educate the public about the safety of census data. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents’ answers with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. All Census Bureau employees take an oath of nondisclosure and are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of the data. The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.
“With the help of our 2010 Census partners such as LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County the Census Bureau has a far greater chance of reaching every U.S. resident than if we were to attempt this monumental task alone,” said Michael Clements of the Census Bureau. “Through its unique role in the community and surrounding areas, LaGrange County Government & the Cities of LaGrange County can help to frequently deliver the 2010 Census message to a large and diverse audience.”
Census data are used for legislative and congressional redistricting, as well as to determine funding and locations for schools, housing, child-care centers, shopping centers, roads and more. These improvements can have a significant impact on the lives of everyone in the community.
One of the shortest census forms in history, the 2010 Census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Census forms will be delivered or mailed to households in March 2010. Census Day is April 1, 2010, the official day of the population count. Households should complete and mail back their responses upon receipt. Census workers will visit households that do not return their forms to take a count in person.
We move forward when you send it back. For more information about the 2010 Census, visit www.2010census.gov.
