Not Too Late to Mail Your Census Forms!

THURSDAY, April 15 (Tax Day)

There’s still time…so fill out and mail back your census form TODAY!

After the 2000 Census, the Census Bureau was able to return $305 million in savings to the federal Treasury because mail rates exceeded expectations — a move the Census Bureau would like to repeat in 2010...

Mail back your 2010 Census form and help save taxpayer money:

For every 1 percent increase in the national participation rate by mail, the Census Bureau can save taxpayers $85 million by not having to send census takers door to door to households that failed to return their census forms.

If every household in the United States completed and mailed back their census form, taxpayers could reduce the cost of taking the census by $1.5 billion. It costs $.42 for people to mail back their form, compared to $57 for census takers to visit each home.

Let's get our fair share!!!
