2010 Census - Help Make Sure Every Child Under Age 6 is CountedThe Decennial Census is the most important data collection activity conducted by the Federal Government. The results of the census are used to establish funding formulas for a multitude of programs including many of the programs provided by Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies. The census data is used as the basis for distributing more than $400 billion in federal funds each year. Children, especially children under age six are more likely than any other group to be undercounted. You can help make a difference in your community.
