The 2010 Census is a nationwide effort to count the more than 310 million people living in the United States – including the nearly
20 million residents of New York.
In March 2010, the Census Bureau will mail, or hand deliver, its shortest questionnaire ever to each American household – just 10 questions – that can be answered in less than 10 minutes.
It's Important: Census data affect funding & political representation for your community.
It's Easy: It only takes a few minutes to answer and return.
It's Safe: Responses are strictly confidential and protected by law.
Census posters, flyers and palm cards available for download.

Every New Yorkers should fill out his or her census form at their
primary place of residence. But given the incredibly diverse – and
incredibly mobile – population in New York, that’s not always so
easy to determine.

principal of every school serving K-8 students.
