What you need to know about Census 2010:
It's quick and easy.
The 2010 census form asks a few simple questions about mem-bers of your household, including name, gender, age, race and whether you rent or own your home. That’s it. Just drop the completed form into a mailbox by April 1, Census Day.
It's confidential.
Census forms are completely confidential for 72 years and cannot be shared with anyone, including welfare and immigration agen-cies, any court of law, and even the president of the United States. There are harsh penalties for anyone who discloses information that can identify a respondent.
It's important.
Census data will be used to draw school districts, establish state legislative districts, and determine the number of seats Florida has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It helps fund community services.
Volusia County uses census data to allocate funding for education, public safety, housing, roads, public transportation and other community services. An undercounting of even 1,000 residents could mean a loss of millions of dollars to our county and cities.
