2010 Census: Help Improve Our Community and Businesses in Just 10 Minutes

Chippewa Township is partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau to help achieve a complete and accurate count of our nation’s population during the 2010 Census. We are proud to be assisting in this important initiative and encourage everyone in the United States – both citizens and noncitizens – to complete and return their census forms.

Conducted every 10 years, the 2010 Census will provide a vital snapshot of our nation’s growing and changing population and demographics. Census data will guide critical business and community decisions, and will help to advance local businesses and make positive improvements in our community.

Every year, the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to state, local and tribal governments based on census data. These improvements, such as additional social services, and new roads, hospitals and schools, can make a significant difference in the quality of life for our neighbors, our families and our community.

Census data are critical to help companies make strategically and fiscally sound decisions that spur and sustain economic development and growth. The 2010 Census will:

·        Inform critical business decisions, from marketing and capital spending to merchandising and work-force planning.

·        Help businesses understand their customers better to more accurately tailor products and services.

·        Make it easier for businesses to attract employees.
