Census - Word of the Week

Today’s word of the week is Census. Census is an official count or survey of a population, typically recording various details of individuals. In the United States, the census records every 10 years. It’s delivered in the form of a questionnaire by mail, and counts everyone who lives in your house on April 1.

The census is important because it is how our community receives its funding for things such as our fire stations, our schools, our medical clinics, and much more. Census 2020 is about to begin. Complete the census. Our future depends on it.
