I just completed my 2010 census form for our household. It was pretty easy. A few check boxes, names, and birth dates and it was back in the prepaid envelope, then the mail. Completing the census is important to Raleigh, it will determine how much, Raleigh and North Carolina will be eligible for “$487 billion in federal funds annually distributed for essentials such as hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, transportation and public utility infrastructure and emergency services.”
With the growth in NC over the last decade, it could mean an increase in the number of seats our state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives. Have you filled yours out yet? If not, you should complete it by National Census Day, April 1, 2010.
