We Can't Move Forward Until You Mail It Back!!!!

This spring, Detroiters will take part in a very important effort: The U.S. Census.In mid-March, Detroit households will receive a Census form, which will help determine the number of people who live in Detroit. The City of Detroit encourages you to answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back by April 1.

It is important that everyone be counted, so that we can get our fair share of $400 billion per year in federal funds for schools, senior centers, job training, hospitals, road projects and emergency services. In fact, Detroit stands to lose as much as $1500 for every person not counted. 

When you take 10 minutes to answer 10 questions you help Detroit get what it needs for the next 10 years.  It’s easy. It’s important. It’s safe.   We can’t move forward until you mail it back. The 2010 Census.   Detroit Counts!
