Indiana Prepares

Job one: for all Hoosier communities to ensure they are completely and accurately counted in April 2010. Right now, communities are being asked to partner with the Census Bureau by establishing Complete Count Committees. See the tab on the left for details on complete count.

This site will provide current, timely and accurate information relevant to the communities and residents of Indiana as planning and implementation for the upcoming Census proceed. We will also inform Indiana stakeholders about Census 2010 endeavors throughout the state.

How Communities Can Prepare for Census 2010

Asking just seven or so questions of all residents (one of the shortest census questionnaires in U.S. history), the 2010 Census form will take most households about ten minutes to complete.

What can Hoosiers do to ensure these forms are filled out and returned?

Set up a complete count committee in your area
Identify hard-to-count populations
Work closely with populations that are reluctant to be counted (minorities, youth, immigrants, etc.)
Publicity (through local media, word of mouth, etc.)
