DO YOUR PART AND FILL IT OUT: CENSUS 2010
 
HWNT chapters will support the 2010 U.S. Census which will take place nationally starting April 1, 2010 and will count everyone living in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census, the confidential survey is required by law, is taken every 10 years and is crucial to how decisions are made in the government including the distribution of Congressional seats as well as the allocation of $300 billion in federal funds to communities each year.

Texas is part of the Dallas region which also includes Louisiana and Mississippi, the Gulf Coast area and the majority of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Help the Census by contributing your time, telling others of its importance and informing yourself about the process.

Census History: Counting Hispanics

by Jeffrey S. Passel, Senior Demographer, Pew Hispanic Center
March 3, 2010
from the Pew Hispanic Center

Despite the long history of Hispanic residents in the United States, there was no systematic effort to count this group separately in the Census until the late 20th century. An analysis of changes in Census question wording over recent decades reveals the challenges in trying to count and describe this fast-growing population.

An estimated 48 million Hispanics are now living in the U.S., or almost 16% of the population. Hispanics are the nation's largest minority group, having surpassed African Americans in number in 2001. The growth of the Hispanic population this century is due mainly to births in the United States, not immigration from abroad, a reversal of the pattern over the previous four decades.
