Census takers visit and enumerate those households. This operation requires more field workers than any other operation for the national population count that occurs every 10 years.
Nonresponse Follow Up is an integral part of the census program that ensures a complete and accurate count.
The census count influences how hundreds of billions of dollars from more than 100 federal programs are distributed each year.Schools, roads, bridges, emergency response, hospitals, homeless services, senior services and other critical services in Plumas County are tied to the census population count.
