US 2010 Census Data Key to Accuracy

Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts its count of every citizen and noncitizen residing in the U.S. The data gathered becomes the base consumer data for U.S. marketing and communication efforts. When accurate data is gathered these activities are more effective and efficient.
Many people are hesitant to share their personal information due to concerns that their information may be shared with other government agencies such as Immigration or the IRS, and they will be subject to some sort of unsettling scrutiny. However, by law the census cannot share respondents’ answers with anyone, including other agencies and law enforcement bodies.
