Did you know that the first census was taken in 1790 by U.S. marshals on horseback? They counted 3.9 million people. The 2010 Census is:

10 Questions
The 2010 Census asks for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship, and whether you own or rent your home. That’s it!

10 Minutes to Complete
The shortest questionnaire in census history!

10 Thousand Dollars
Over the next ten years, North Dakota loses approximately $10,000 for every person not counted!

It’s in our hands…

* The education of our children
* The health of the elderly
* The survival of our culture
* The power to matter

The 2010 Census means jobs. A complete and accurate census identifies where to locate factories, shopping centers, movie theaters, banks and offices; all sources for new jobs.

It’s like writing a check to your child. Census data affects $435 billion in annual, federal, and state funding for schools, transportation and health care.

The Census is your voice in government. State governments rely on a complete and accurate census to draw up legislative boundaries, and our population determines our number of elected officials in the House of Representatives.
