CENSUS COUNT FOR

The U.S. Census counts
every resident in the
United States, and is
required by the

will help communities
receive more than $400
billion in federal funds
each year for things
like:
* Hospitals
* Job training centers
* Schools
Senior centers
* Major public works projects
* Emergency services
The data collected
by the census also
help determine the
number of seats your
state has in the
U.S. House of
Representatives.
When you receive
your census form in
