How Do I Recognize a Census Taker?

That’s because Knoxville receives millions of dollars in federal funding based on population, money that is used to support everything from school programs to community health care projects to public works efforts including bridge and road building projects. The city also receives some state funding based on the number of people that live here.

These are your tax dollars and an accurate count ensures that these funds will continue to support worthy projects in our community.

The results of the Census also helps determine the number of seats each state has in the United States House of Representatives and Census data helps the redrawing of local electoral districts within each state.

Businesses and non-profit organizations use Census data about local populations to provide better services and research markets among other things. So there are numerous benefits from a complete count of everyone living in our community.

While the Census creates a snapshot of America’s population it also protects the individual data. The information you include on the Census form are used solely by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is forbidden by law for the Census Bureau to share that information with any other federal, state or local government agency.

Make a difference. Please be counted by completing the 2010 Census form.
