What is the 2020 CensusThe Census Bureau is the federal government’s largest statistical agency that is dedicated to providing current facts and figures about America’s people, places, and economy. Federal law protects the confidentiality of all the information the Census Bureau collects. The 2020 Census results will help to direct billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities, just like ours, for a variety of purposes for the next 10 years.
Oklahoma stands to lose up to $16,000 per person for the next 10 years in federal support without an accurate Census count so Oklahoma is counting on all of us, because when everyone counts, everyone wins. |
