The 2010 Census:
It's Easy, It's Safe,
& It's Important
The Census is conducted every ten years to provide an accurate count of
every man, woman and child living in the United States. Your answers are
strictly confidential and protected by law. No person or agency--not the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Immigration & Naturalization Service
(INS) or even
the President himself, can solicit or look at your answers.
Who Counts? You Do!
Anyone living in the United States, regardless of race, ethnicity,
religion, age or legal status deserves to and should be counted. The
Census is simply a count of every living person in the U.S.--nothing
more, nothing less.

Loveland Has
Counted since 1880
Loveland
has been participating in the national Census since 1880.
§ In 1880,
Loveland's population was 236.
§ In 1940 Loveland's population was 6,145.
§ In 2000 Loveland's population was 50,608--just over the 50,000 mark.
The 2010 Census will tell us
how much we've grown and give us a snapshot of our community, as we are,
right now.
Why
it's Important
Loveland's
level of participation directly affects our city's ability to access Federal
monies for numerous programs and projects including:
|
Education |
Roads |
Trails & Open
Space |
|
Veteran's
Programs |
Transportation |
Programs for Elderly |
|
Human Services |
Parks |
Affordable Housing |
The
official count also provides demographic information for businesses
interested in locating in Loveland, and determines our political
representation too.
