CENSUS 2010 – It’s In Our Hands | General Fact Sheet | Community Fact Sheet
The U.S. Census Bureau has defined Miami-Dade County as a “hard to count community.” Late last year, Mayor Carlos Alvarez began the County’s outreach efforts for the upcoming 2010 Census. The County’s campaign will focus on educating and motivating residents to participate in the upcoming Census so that the collected information may be used to properly allocate resources to our community.
The results of each Census are used by the Federal Government to support at least fifty different government functions throughout the United States. Seven of those functions – government decision making, development of new businesses, distribution of federal funds, forecasting of future housing needs, development of public facilities for special populations, establishment of fair market rents and enforcement of fair market practices, and identification of areas eligible for housing assistance -- are supported by the federal funding administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Yet throughout the last ten years Miami-Dade County received limited federal support for those initiatives, for only 65% of its households participated in the 2000 Census collection effort.
For additional information regarding the 2010 Census, please contact Felipe M. Rivero, III, Supervisor of our Compliance, Correspondence, and Constituent Services Section, at 786-469-2152 or log on to the County’s Census website
