Every 10 years the census comes around but this year there is  important for the people in Eastern Kentucky to participate

Kim Sergent, KVEC Social Studies Instructional Specialist, says the census tells officials not only how many people live in each location but, more importantly, where to allocate money.

People will receive invitations to participate in the census starting April 1st. You can respond by phone, online, or by mail.

When filling out the census, whoever lives in your household on April 1st is included in your report for the census.
