 Get Ready for the Census! 
It Really Matters to Jacksonville
Ever complain that a business you like is not in Jacksonville? Ever Wonder why we don't get the roads and streets we need? Sometimes, it's all because the Census numbers did not attract business investors, or officials just did not think we had enough population to justify the expense.
When you fill out and mail back your census form, you’re making a statement about what resources your community needs going forward.
Accurate data reflecting changes in your community are crucial in apportioning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and deciding how more than $400 billion per year is allocated for projects like new hospitals and schools.
That's more than $4 trillion over a 10-year period for things like new roads and schools, and services like job training centers.
Call Today!
Give your answers over the phone or request a form be sent to where you live. Do it today, to ensure you can mail it back in time to avoid a census taker coming to your door. Don't be left out of the count for your community.
