Use of Census Data
It’s safe, easy, and fast. When you fill out the census form, you’re making a statement about what resources your community needs going forward.
Accurate data reflecting changes in your community are crucial in apportioning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and deciding how more than $400 billion per year is allocated for projects like new hospitals and schools.
That's more than $4 trillion over a 10-year period for things like new roads and schools, and services like job training centers. Read more about how Census data affects communities here.

This feature was generated from the "Consolidated Federal Funds Report" for the years 2000 to 2008 by the U.S. Census Bureau, Governments Division, Federal Programs Branch. Formula funding totals represent program allocations made directly to local governments, and differ from state total amounts in State Tables, which include state pass-through funds. Franklin county's total may be inflated due to unidentified, non-separated state agency pass-through funding.
