Are you up for the ‘Take 10’ challenge?
On behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau, join us in making history by helping to boost the mail-back participation rates during the 2010 Census. Everyone is encouraged to take 10 minutes to answer the 10 simple questions on the census form. Through “Take 10,” you can get updates on the proportion of households that have mailed back the 2010 Census forms. View your community’s participation rates, and those of neighboring communities or other areas across the country.

The stakes are high; an accurate count of the local population helps to ensure that your community receives its fair share of federal funding. This funding includes resources for services such as health care, education and roads.
