Census 'Buzz You Need to Know

April 1st is Census Day 2010.
Anyone who is born after April 1, 2010 will be counted in the next --- 2020 --- Census.
Once every 10 years, the U.S. government MUST - by law -
count every person who is living anywhere in the U.S. on April 1st.

Brockton has a census committee. It is called the "Complete Count Committee."
Interested community participants have been meeting regularly
to plan activities
that raise awareness about
the importance of
a complete census count.
