Special News Report Census 2010 Residents urged to participate in Census 2010 Oak Parkers who take a few minutes to answer 10 simple questions will be helping to make sure the community gets its fair share of the billions of dollars in federal funds distributed each year to various governments. Forms for the 2010 Census soon will arrive in mailboxes for the April 1 official population count day. Residents who do not return the questionnaire by the end of April can expect a visit from a census taker in May through July, as efforts focus on making sure the constitutionally mandated count is as accurate as possible. All information provided to the Census Bureau is used for statistical purposes only, and is strictly confidential. With one of the shortest questionnaires in history, the 2010 Census asks for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship and whether you own or rent your home. The questions are intended to gatherinformation about how we live as a nation, our diversity, education, housing and jobs. In addition to grant funding, accurate census data also helps determine congressional representation and guides local decision-makers on where to build new roads, hospitals, housing, schools, places of worship and more. For more information, visit 2010census.gov or contact the Office of the Village Clerk at 708.358.5670 or clerk@oak-park.us.
