Census Countdown

The next Census begins April 1, 2020:

The Census is a population count of the United States that happens every 10 years. It determines the distribution of money and political power from the federal government to our communities. The next Census begins April 1, 2020.

The Library is proud to be part of the Morton Grove Complete Count Committee. Check this page for updates and resources as the Census approaches.

Guide how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states and communities each year
Create jobs
Provide housing
Prepare for emergencies
Build schools, roads and hospitals
