What could 2010 census mean for Treasure Coast?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by TCPalm.comThat little survey is all about quality of life.
Starting Monday, the 2010 Census form will be mailed to households and its results could impact the future of the Treasure Coast.
The federal government counts everyone in its borders every 10 years as required by the U.S. Constitution. The results impact roads, schools, hospitals and Congressional seats.
The most immediate impact is the near 1,200 temporary jobs locally the census is providing to the region that in December had an unemployment rate of 13.7 percent.
The 10-question survey, with a postage-paid return envelope, will be mailed to households asking questions about number of people residing there.
Forms should be returned by April 1, when federal officials will release the country’s population for that day.
