United States Census 2010

Overview

Census 2010 logoIt will take a tremendous amount of teamwork to count every resident in the United States on April 1, 2010. For the 2010 Census, COG is working with the U.S. Census Bureau to build regional awareness and encourage participation throughout the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia. Urban communities have been prone to undercounts in the past, so COG and its local governments are working with their federal partners to conduct a more complete count in 2010.

COG has been hosting and helping coordinate meetings for U.S. Census Bureau officials and area elected officials to promote the upcoming Census. At these events, officials have reminded residents that the Census guides key policy decisions, impacts their representation in Congress, and influences billions of dollars in government services and investments in transportation improvements, hospitals and schools. COG has also created this page to provide links to national, state and local Census offices and additional resources.
