It's in Our Hands - Census 2010
What does the 2010 Census mean to me? Money to your community for the services you need. More than $400 billion in federal money is distributed to towns and cities based on census population figures. With over 200,000 residents in the Town of Gilbert, when you complete your census questionnaire, you ensure that your tax dollars are returned to your community in the form of services, including:
- Police and fire protection
- Hospitals
- Schools, parks and libraries
- Senior centers
- Roads, neighborhood improvements
- Local bus service
What do I need to do for the 2010 Census? When you receive the census questionnaire form in the mail around March or April of 2010, please fill out the 10 questions. It's easy and confidential.
How confidential is the information I provide on the census form? Personal census information is not shared with any other agency or organization. There are no exceptions. Census workers can go to jail for revealing census information.
If you have not received a form or lost your form, contact a Telephone Questionnaire Assistance Center, at (866) 872-6868 and provide your information.
