The U. S. Census Bureau takes a count of every citizen in the United States every 10 years. Here are a few reasons why you need to be counted in that number:
- It influences the number of congressional seats for Louisiana.
- It determines how dollars are being allocated for schools and hospitals in Louisiana.
- It would give accurate economic data for businesses, researchers, and policy makers in making decisions.
- It helps with the planning of public health programs in Louisiana.
- Each person who goes uncounted costs Louisiana $2,291.
Everyone counts from the crib to the nursing home. April 1, 2020 is Census Day!! Please Be Counted!! For more information Click Here
