The US Census provides an official count of the United States’ population and information about important demographic changes over a 10-year period. This data is used to ensure states are being fairly represented, both in the allotment of federal dollars and the number of congressional districts. Low participation in the 2020 Census could have substantial negative consequences for our state. As a result of the 2010 Census, Missouri lost a congressional seat and hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding. For every person undercounted, Missouri forfeits $1,300 in federal dollars.
North County Incorporated is working with key community stakeholders to increase the knowledge about the importance of the Census and the cost to our community when under-counted. We are working with key community industries to help them to develop a scope of work specifically for those they employ and serve.
