Make LA Count in 2010

10 questions. 10 minutes.
That’s all it takes to be counted and define who we are as a City. Look for the 10-question Census form in your mailbox from March 15-17, fill it out, and return it by prepaid postage to ensure LA gets its fair share of federal and state funding.

The 2010 Census will help L.A.’s communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, public works projects, and emergency services.

Be assured that your personal information is safe and private, protected by the strongest national privacy laws, The U.S. Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s responses with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. The 2010 Census will be one of the shortest and simplest in U.S. history. It will ask basic questions including:

• Name
• Sex
• Age and date of birth
• Hispanic origin
• Race
• Household relationship
• If you own or rent your home

It requires less personal information than a typical credit card application. For example, the 2010 Census does NOT ask about bank account information, salary or income, citizenship or immigration status, and will never ask you for your Social Security number.
