Every 10 years, the U.S Bureau conducts a census to determine the number of people living in the United States. The census is much more than just a head count, it provides a representation of the community that helps determine where to build new schools, hospitals, and businesses. The census also helps communities create jobs, provide housing, fund K-12 education, prepare for emergencies and build schools, roads, hospitals, and libraries.
Most importantly, the census data determines how many seats each state gets in Congress. State and local officials also use census data to draw boundaries for state and local legislative districts as well as school districts. Completing the census is a civic duty and a way to participate in the nation’s democracy to attain proper representation as citizens.
Together, the community can shape its future by ensuring that #DoralCounts on April 1, 2020. For information, visit www.cityofdoral.com/census2020.
