2010 Census

The federal government distributes more than $400 billion annually to state, local, and tribal governments based on census data. One of the shortest census forms in history, the 2010 Census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Completing your census form is easy, important and safe. The participation of every person is vital.
