» 2010 Census

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

It seems like every time I leave my MSU student apartment, I see, read, or hear someone talking about how important participating in the Census is.  It’s everywhere!  But, I found myself with one question…

How do I participate?

1.  The Census form will arrive in mailboxes mid-March and must be filled out and postmarked by April 1st.

2.  Forms must be filled out in the community where you’ll be living on April 1st.

3.  It’s a short, 10 question form.

4.  All information will be kept confidential by the US government.

For every person counted, federal funds are brought back into the community over 10 years.  Funds are used for things like Dell Grants, public transportation, energy efficient grants, and more!  It’s your duty to participate!

For more information, visit the City of East Lansing’s Census Page.
