2010 CENSUS: IT'S I N OUR HANDS
What You Need to Know about the 2010 Census
In 2010, the U.S. census will define who we are as a nation. Taken every 10 years, the census
affects political representation and directs the allocation of billions of dollars in government
funding. Asa 2010 Census partner, you can educate your community about the importance
of participating in this historic event and help ensure no one is left uncounted. You can help
your community receive the fiscal and social benefits to which it is entitled. Achieving a
complete and accurate 2010 Census is in our hands.
The Census: A Snapshot
The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years.
The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States: in all 50 states, Washington,
D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and American Samoa. This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, both
citizens and non-citizens.
The 2010 Census will create hundreds of thousands of temporary jobs across the nation.
It's in Our Hands: Your Participation in the 2010 Census Matters
Every year, more than $300 billion in federal funds is awarded to states and communities
based on census data. That's more than $3 trillion over a 10-year period.
Census data guide local decision-makers in important community planning efforts, including
where to build new roads, hospitals and schools.
Census data affect your voice in Congress by determining how many seats each state will have
in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Completing the 2010 Census Questionnaire: Simple and Safe
The 2010 Census questionnaire asks only a few simple questions of each person-name,
relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns or rents his
or her home. This simple, short questionnaire takes just a few minutes to complete and return
by mail.
The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents
or their household for 72 years.

2010 CENSUS: Frequently Asked Questions
Why should everyone participate in the 2010 Census?
Census data shape the future of your community and define your voice in Congress.
Census information helps determine locations for schools, roads, hospitals, child-care and senior citizen
centers, and more.
Businesses use census data to locate supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing and other facilities.
~ The census determines how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as
the boundaries of legislative districts.
How will the 2010 Census differ from previous census efforts?
In the last census, one in six households received a long questionnaire asking for detailed socioeconomic
information. In 2010, every residence will receive a short questionnaire that is simple and fast to complete and return.
More detailed information will be collected annually from a small percentage of the population through the American
Community Survey.
Will the information the Census Bureau collects remain confidential?
Yes. Every Census Bureau worker takes an oath for life to protect the confidentiality of census responses. Violation
would result in a jail term of up to five years and/or fine of up to $250,000. By law, the Census Bureau cannot
share an individual's answers with anyone, including welfare and immigration agencies.
Why are partners so important to the 2010 Census campaign?
More than 140,000 organizations supported Census 2000, including state and local governments, community- and
faith-based organizations, schools, media, businesses and others. The Census Bureau relies on partners to help
explain the importance of completing the 2010 Census message to people in every corner of the United States. This
is particularly important in areas isolated by language or geography. By joining forces with partners, the Census
Bureau has a far greater chance to reach every U.S. resident than by attempting this monumental task alone.

U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
IT'S I N OUR HANDS
Become a 2010 Census Partner
In 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau will issue a call to action for
every resident of our nation: "Be Counted."
The 2010 Census is important. It determines the distribution of
$300 billion annually of government funding for critical community
services. It generates thousands of jobs across the country. And it
impacts your voice in Congress.
Your support of the 2010 Census matters. Your partnership sends a
strong message to your community about the importance of the census
and the benefits of being counted. A complete and accurate count is in
our hands.
Why should you partner with the 2010 Census?
Bring jobs to your community. The Census Bureau will hire
hundreds of thousands of people nationwide for temporary census
jobs. You can recruit applicants in your community and help boost
your local economy.
Get the funding your community deserves. Census data are used
to allocate billions of dollars in government funding and guide
where to build roads, schools, job training centers and more. An
incomplete count could mean your community does not receive its
fair share of funding.
Ensure your interests are represented. Census data will determine
how many seats each state will have in Congress and impact
redistricting of state and local districts.
Take action:
As a partner, you will play an important role in making the 2010 Census
successful by encouraging people in your community to take part in the
count. As a partner, you can'
Include census information in newsletters, mailings and online.
Sponsor meetings or other events to encourage participation in the census.
Help recruit census workers.
Provide space for testing and training census employees.
Issue a proclamation or other public endorsement for the 2010 Census.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling
variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error
can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the
estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the
ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of
nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
Notes:
Employment and unemployment estimates may vary from the official labor force data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics because
of differences in survey design and data collection. For guidance on differences in employment and unemployment estimates from different
sources go to Labor Force Guidance.
•Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes and are based on Standard Occupational Classification 2000.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2002. However, the Industry
categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAILS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S.

•While the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2006 Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
definitions of metropolitan and miropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities

Notes:
Ancestry listed in this table refers to the total number of people who responded with a particular ancestry; for example, the estimate given for Russian
represents the number of people who listed Russian as either their first or second ancestry. This table lists only the largest ancestry groups; see the
Detailed Tables for more categories. Race and Hispanic origin groups are not inducted in this table because official data for those groups come from the
Race and Hispanic origin questions rather than the ancestry question (see Demographic Table).
•The Census Bureau introduced a new skip pattern for the disability questions in the 2003 ACS questionnaire. This change mainly affected two individual
items - go-outside-home disability and employment disability -and the recode for disability status, which indudes the lwo items. Acxordingty,
comparisons of data from 2003 or later with data from prior years are not recommended for the relevant questions. For more information, see the ACS
Subject Definitions for Disability.
Data for year of entry of the native population reflect the year of entry into the U.S. by people who were born in Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Areas or born
outside the U.S. to a U.S. dozen parent and who subsequently moved to the U.S.
While the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2006 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of
metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the prindpal cities shown in ACS tables may
differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities. The 2007 Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) data
generally reflect the December 2005 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defintions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain
instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal does shown in PRCS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the
effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.
Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily
reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.
Explanation of Symbols:
1. An "•' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a
standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
2. An ' 'entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate,
or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended
distribution.
3. An =' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.
4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
5. An '*••' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the bwest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A
statistical test is not appropriate.
6. An '••*"•' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data fior this geographic area cannot lie displayed because the number of
sample cases is too small.
8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applipble or not available.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling
variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of ercor
can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the
estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the
ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of
nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
Notes:

Explanation of Symbols:
1. An "'*' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
2. An =' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to
compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or
upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the Lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.
4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
5. An '***' entry in the margin of ercor column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended
distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.
6. An '**"**' entry in the margin of ercor column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not
appropriate.
7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the
number of sample cases is too small.
8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.

2010 CENSUS: ~'~ I N ~~~ ~~~C.,,)
What Community-Based and Socia/ Service
Organizations Need to Know
The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States: in all 50 states, Washington,
D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and American Samoa. This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, both
citizens and non-citizens.
The 2010 Census will create hundreds of thousands of temporary jobs across the nation.
Every year, more than $300 billion in federal funds is awarded to states and communities based
on census data. That's more than $3 trillion over a 10-year period.
Census data guide local decision-makers in important community planning efforts, including
where to build child-care and community centers.
Community planners and governments rely on census data to determine where there is the
most need for additional social services and who gets needed funding, such as community
development block grants.
Census data can help you estimate the number of potential volunteers in your community, the
number of residents who may need your services, and can help in writing better proposals for
grants.
The 2010 Census questionnaire asks only a few simple questions of each person-name,
relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns or rents his
or her home. This simple, short questionnaire takes just a few minutes to complete and return
by mail.
•. The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents
or their household for 72 years.

Businesses use census data to locate supermarkets, shopping centers, new housing and other facilities.
Government officials use census data to allocate funding and grants to high-need areas and non-profit
organizations.
How will the 2010 Census differ from previous census efforts?
In the last census, one in six households received a long questionnaire asking for detailed socioeconomic information.
In 2010, every residence will receive a short questionnaire that is simple and fast to complete and return. More
detailed information will be collected annually from a small percentage of the population through the American
Community Survey.
Will the information the Census Bureau collects remain confidential?
Yes. Every Census Bureau worker takes an oath for life to protect the confidentiality of census responses. Violation
would result in a jail term of up to five years and/or fine of up to $250,000. By law, the Census Bureau cannot
share an individual's answers with anyone, including welfare and immigration agencies.
Why are community-based and social service groups so important to the 2010 Census?
More than 140,000 organizations supported Census 2000, including community-based organizations, state and
local governments, faith-based organizations, schools, media, businesses and others. Through partnerships, the
Census Bureau has a far greater chance to reach every U.S. resident than by attempting this monumental task
alone. As a trusted partner, you can convey the importance of the census, particularly to community members
isolated by language or geography. For example, you can refer applicants for census jobs, include census
information on bulletin boards and in newsletters, and provide space for census activities.

The 2010 Census questionnaire asks only a few simple questions of each person-name,
relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns or rents his
or her home. This simple, short questionnaire takes just a few minutes to complete and return
by mail.
The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents
or their household for 72 years.

In the last census, one in six households received a long questionnaire asking for detailed socioeconomic
information. In 2010, every residence will receive a short questionnaire that is simple and fast to complete and return.
More detailed information will be collected annually from a small percentage of the population through the American
Community Survey.

Yes. Every Census Bureau worker takes an oath for life to protect the confidentiality of census responses. Violation
would result in a jail term of up to five years and/or fine of up to $250,000. By law, the Census Bureau cannot
share an individual's answers with anyone, including welfare and immigration agencies.

More than 140,000 organizations supported Census 2000, including state and local governments, community- and
faith-based organizations, schools, media, businesses and others. By joining forces with partners, the Census Bureau
has a far greater chance to reach every U.S. resident than by attempting this monumental task alone. As an elected
official, you can communicate the importance and safety of completing the census questionnaire to constituents,
including those isolated by language or geography. You can form a Complete Count Committee, hold town hall
meetings, include census information in newsletters and Web sites, and provide space for the Census Bureau to test
and train.
