) The Surprise City Council has declared March as “Census Month” in Surprise, as Census 2010 forms are due to arrive in residents’ mailboxes the week of March 15.
As stated in the official Proclamation, “the Mayor and Council fully endorse and support the United States Census Bureau’s desire to conduct a complete and accurate count of all U.S. residents as of April 1, 2010 and urge residents to join with us in supporting the Census 2010 by returning the Census questionnaires promptly and accurately.”
City Council appointed a citizen-led Census 2010 Complete Count Committee in January and tasked them with promoting the Census to all residents. The group, supported by city staff, has created an aggressive outreach plan to encourage 100% resident participation in the Census.
Each Surprise resident counted by the Census is worth $1,300 in federal funding for transportation, hospitals, schools and other important services. An accurate population count also helps determine congressional representation figures in Washington D.C.
Full time, part time and non-American citizens are all required to fill out the 10-question, confidential survey by April 1.
