2010 Census Information
Forms for the 2010 Census will be delivered or mailed to households in March of 2010. The short form consists of 10 questions and can be completed in about 10 minutes. Census Day is April 1, 2010, so your responses on the form should represent your household as it exists on that day. Making sure every person is counted in Michigan is critical, as an undercount will cost the state $1,000 per person per year in lost funding for schools, housing, roads, childcare centers, shopping centers, and more. For more information, please read this and/or visit http://2010.census.gov.
