Census 2010

 You Count in East Lansing

CENSUS ROAD TOUR CELEBRATION - The Census Road Tour Celebration will take place in downtown East Lansing on Wednesday, March 24 from 8-10 p.m. A Census Road Tour vehicle will be parked in Ann Street Plaza (next to the clock tower) to provide educational outreach to the East Lansing community. In addition to educational materials, the celebration will feature free food, a live DJ, Census giveaways and more.

 

ABOUT THE CENSUS - East Lansing is gearing up for the 2010 Census – a federally mandated head count of every person who lives in the United States.

 

East Lansing residents are urged to fill out the 2010 form, which will arrive in mailboxes in mid-March and must be postmarked by April 1, 2010. The 2010 Census form has been dubbed the "shortest Census form in history," featuring 10 confidential questions that can be easily answered in no more than 10 minutes.

 

The Census is important because it brings federal funding back into the community. Close to $1,500 per person, per year over the next 10 years will be allocated for each head that is counted. These funds will go toward road construction and rehabilitation, public transportation, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and other community services and programs.


MSU STUDENTS - MSU students with questions about where they should fill out their Census form (i.e. at school or back at mom and dad’s house) are reminded that they must be counted in the location where they live full time. Meaning, if they live in East Lansing for the majority (more than half) of the year and will be living in East Lansing on April 1, they should fill their form out in East Lansing.
