Census results are used to determine the number of congressional seats for each state, the shape of legislative and local government districts, and how more than $400 billion in federal funds is distributed annually to communities across the country.
April 1, is Census Day, the reference day for collecting census information from every household in America.
Census questionnaires will be mailed or delivered in mid-March. The Kentucky offices will close after census operations end in 2010.
