MICHAEL PETERSON, CITY COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR
PRESENTATION: CENSUS 2010 UPDATE
The United States Constitution requires a Census population count every 10
years. The first U.S. Census was conducted in 1790. Since then, there has been
a Census every 10 years to track population changes. This consistent source of
reliable data allows policy makers, researchers, businesses, and non-profits to
better represent their constituencies and serve their communities.
Basic facts will be presented about the 2010 Census including who to contact for
more information and why it is important to cities and individuals. This
presentation will include a two-minute video produced by the Census Bureau.
Sample census questionnaires have been included in the council's packet.
