Census Champion 2020

Every 10 years, the United States Constitution requires a count (or "census") of all people. The next census will be held on April 1, 2020.
Delco is looking for CENSUS CHAMPIONS to help spread the message in your community that the census is IMPORTANT, SAFE and EASY!

WHY?

Because every person counted equals about $2,000 of federal funding to fund programs and services vital to Delco including health care, education and emergency services.

Local government officials use the census to ensure public safety and plan new schools and hospitals.

The results determine how many seats in Congress each state gets.

Businesses use Census data to decide where to build factories, offices, and stores and these create jobs.

Real Estate developer and county planners use the data to plan new homes and improve neighborhoods.
