17 Questionnaire Assistance Centers Open to Help Hays County Residents Respond to 2010 Census

Posted 03/18/2010

Goal is to get accurate population count so residents of Hays County receive their ‘fair share’ of federal funding for education, health and other programs
Census 2010 Help Centers now open.

Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – Census forms are on their way to Hays County residents and will be in mailboxes and on front doors by the end of March. While the 2010 Census questionnaire is one of the shortest forms in decades, assistance is available if you have questions about any of the information you are asked to provide.  

The constitutionally mandated population count first took place in 1790 and is the only civic event that includes every person in the country. The Census is the basis for America’s representative democracy, ensuring that Congress is fairly reapportioned every 10 years between the states. Census counts are also used to redraw state and local legislative boundaries so that political representation is fairly distributed across their changing populations, and to fairly distribute billions of dollars in federal funding for education, health care and other programs.

To get answers to your questions about your 2010 Census form, please stop by one of the 17 Questionnaire Assistance Centers in Buda, Kyle, Dripping Springs, Wimberley or San Marcos, or call toll-free from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays:

 

English: 1-866-872-6868

Spanish/en español: 1-866-928-2010

TDD (Telephone Display Device for the hearing impaired): 1-866-783-2010
