Why does your county response rate matter?
The Census helps determine how much each county receives in federal funding to:
- Support emergency services such as hospitals and fire departments
- Ensure families in your community have access to proper food and nutrition through programs like SNAP and WIC
- Maintain and improve schools, transportation infrastructure, and parks and playgrounds
Taking the Census today will have an impact on your community for the next 10 years. Ensure your county receives its fair share of federal funding.
