Census 2010 Information
Help our community and schools by sending yours in ...

Census Forms are Coming! 

Sometime during spring break, a big envelope from the U.S. Census Bureau should arrive in your mailbox.  Please take 10 minutes (or less!) to open it, answer 10 simple questions, pop it back into the postage-prepaid return envelope, and send it in. 

What’s in it for you?  Money for your local schools and your community!  Billions of dollars are allocated on the basis of the census count – and Rio Rancho currently isn’t getting its fair share. 

Currently, federal funds are being allocated on the basis of 2000 census information – about 25,000 Rio Rancho residents and 6,500 Rio Rancho public school students ago.  If eveyone in Rio Rancho is counted in this census, it will most likely mean millions more in federal money for our city and our schools – without any increase in your taxes! 

An accurate census count of every Rio Rancho resident will also give all of us a bigger voice in government policymaking, since legislative and congressional districts are drawn on the basis of census data.   

Census data is confidential and individuals’ answers are not shared with any other agencies, including law enforcement, the Internal Revenue Service, and immigration.  In fact, it’s against federal law for individuals’ census data to be shared. 

For more information on the census, visit www.2010census.gov.  Ten questions – ten minutes – a fair share for Rio Rancho!  It’s in YOUR hands!

 

Happy March!
