Talking Points
Census Talking Points
General Talking Points
- The U.S. Census is required by the Constitution. The once a decade count determines how many representatives North Carolina will have in Congress and where state, county, town, and other local districts are drawn.
- The Census is the largest and most reliable picture of our communities and is vital to planning for future services like schools, streets and utilities, hospitals and clinics, shopping and more.
- Census data brings your tax dollars back to your community. More than $1,623 per person in federal aid and $205 in state aid are distributed annually based on the census count. CHIP, Medicare and Medicaid, SNAP (Food Stamps), Head Start, Foster Care and National School Lunch Program grants, and Highway planning and construction grants (including the NC Powell Bill) rely on census information.
