Why the Census matters

Health clinics. Fire departments. Schools. Even roads and highways. The Census can shape many different aspects of our community.

The Census results help to determine how federal funding flows into the State of Wisconsin and the City of Wauwatosa. They also determine how many seats represent each state in Congress.

The U.S. Constitution mandates the Census to count our population every 10 years.
