The 2010 U.S. Census will have an enormous impact on cities and communities in the coming decade. A “complete count” has local impacts. Communities like Lakewood could lose up to $1,300 for each person who is not counted--each year for 10 years.The Census will help communities receive over $400 billion in federal funding every year for things like schools, job training centers, emergency services, and public works projects.
