Plainfield 2020 Census
What is a census and why is it important?
Once a decade, America comes together to count every resident in the United States, creating national awareness of the importance of the census and its valuable statistics. The decennial census was first taken in 1790, as mandated by the Constitution. It counts our population and households, providing the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities’ vital programs — impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy.
It is vitally important that all residents of Plainfield be included in the COUNT for Census 2020. The results of the Census – if we are under counted - will have an immediate impact on funding for our schools, roads and other community programs.
