Every 10 years, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution, our nation conducts a census - an effort to count every person living in the United States.  The key to this endeavor is having every household fill out and mail back a completed census form.  Participation is critical, as the results determine how Congress is apportioned and how more than $300 billion in federal funds are distributed annually to state, local, and tribal areas.

Both the U.S. Census and State of Ohio have interactive 2010 Census websites.
