When we all respond, our community gets the money we need to:

Fix our roads and bridges

Fund our health care centers and hospitals

Support after-school programs and lunches for children

The Census happens once every 10 years. If we aren’t all counted in 2020, Missouri will be shortchanged for the next decade. For every adult and every child that is not counted in the Census, our state will lose $1,300 in federal dollars each year.
