Here you will find information pertaining to the upcoming April 2000 Census. Every 10 years the United States government takes a count of how many people are living in this country, regardless of their citizenship status . In other words, everyone in the United States gets counted. They do this by sending a survey, called the Census form, to every household.
Every person living in the household is to be counted on the form.
The last Census was taken in 1990, which means that the next Census will be coming up very soon, in 2000. Most households will receive the Short Census Form , which is made up of about seven questions, including name, sex, age, and race. The long form also includes questions on education, ancestry and employment, among others. Census forms will be mailed to every household beginning in the middle of March 2000. They are due in the mailbox by April 1, 2000.
