Census Day (April 1, 2010) is weeks away. Our 2010 Census pages provide local officials with information and resources about local and statewide efforts to ensure a complete count of all Californians. Find information here from the US Census Bureau, California Complete Count and other groups working to ensure that all residents in the state are counted.
A full and accurate count is important in California as an undercount may result in the loss of a Congressional seat, inaccurate reapportionment or redistricting boundaries, and ten years of reduced federal funding due to a lower population count. Census data are also used to make decisions about what community services to provide.
Scroll down for resources on starting and joining complete count committees, upcoming trainings and webinars, and other news and events! Email mhassan@ca-ilg.org with other content ideas.Read more »
