This in turn will help local governments forecast the demand for new public facilities, such as schools, hospitals, libraries, and fire and police stations. Information on the value of your home will allow local agencies to determine everything from the adequacy of housing units for the elderly to the impact of road construction on the value of homes. Questions on family income will be used to determine how to distribute education funds to help disadvantaged children. Knowing whether there are telephones in people's homes will allow local governments to plan local 911 emergency services. And queries about military duty will gather information to help plan the location of hospitals and health-care services for veterans.
