Census forms will arrive in your mail beginning mid-March!

It is critical for Surprise that everyone be counted. Why?

Watch the Census 2010 Presentation

 

 

• Each uncounted person represents a loss of approximately $1300 to Surprise in federal assistance for public safety, transportation and other civic improvements
• Congressional districts are shaped by the Census, and Arizona has grown.  Let’s be sure we are not underrepresented in Washington
• It’s confidential.  The information gathered by the Census is protected by law and is not distributed to political parties, advertisers, law enforcement agencies….no one!
• It’s easy!  It should take about ten minutes to complete
• It is the law.  Federal law requires that Census forms be completed
• Non-citizens and part time residents are included!  The census counts everyone living in Surprise when the Census forms arrive.  So if you are a part time resident, or even a foreign national, you should fill out the form and return it.
