The 2020 Census provides vital information for you and our community. It determines how many representatives each state get in Congress and is used to draw district boundaries. Communities rely on census statistics to plan for a variety of residents needs including new roads, schools and emergency services. Each year, the federal government distributes hundreds of billions of dollars to states and communities based on Census Bureau data. Montana's share of federal funds for 2015 was $2,054,746,744. To achieve maximum funding it is vital that everyone takes an interest and participates in the Census.
The Bureau has analyzed that there is more than $675 billion in national funding at play with this year's census. This is a snapshot that lasts for the next ten years, so this moment really has far-raging consequences into the future.
You and your family count.
