The 2010 Census is very important and you are required by the law to answer all of the questions to the best of your ability. The Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for example, hospitals, schools, bridges, ect. In March 2010, the Census form was delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. If you do not send the form back, they will send a “census taker” to ask you the questions. The form is not available online.
